Ok so our Oline finally broke him, if he has surgery is it an 8 week recovery or is there no chance this season unless BH vastly improved or Romo rides to the rescue?

I thought surgery healed it faster?
Radio today said with Surgery, it is likely 6-10 weeks before any movement is allowed on the arm, then therapy starts from there. Doctor on radio said even if 6 weeks is what he does, you're looking at another 3-5 weeks before he's even allowed back to the practice field. Best case he's back for Wild Card weekend. But, what it does is get him prepared and stronger faster for next year.
Yep. Surgery can get you to rehab a little faster than natural healing. But then you haven't moved the right arm in 6-10 weeks. Longer rehab. Would be easier to shorten if it was his left shoulder and could use the right during healing.
yeah, the rehab is gonna be a bitch. hes looking at not moving that arm at all for a couple months
its gonna take time for the throwing arm to get anywhere close to where it needs to be
this is new bretts team for now. this is what he's been groomed for, the coach likes him, and the coch is suppose to be a QB guru according to many
so, we'll see. i do think the o-line will get him killed before the season is over. i mentioned it in preseason. our o-line only looks good when you have the wizard behind them. as soon as brett got back there and couldn't use his special powers to figure where to escape to, the line looked just as shitty as they actually are. and those were our good linemen
It's still natural healing - the surgery is to put a plate in there to align the fracture, meaning it very likely was a total break, not a hairline deal like in 2013.
also, after talking to a few old timers today, it sounds like someone needs to teach a-rod how to fall
sounds like the worst thing you can do in that situation is try and put your hand out to break the fall
other sports (hockey) teach you to never do that
Well he wasn't falling, he was being tackled/landed upon. Maybe he can't roll out of that. he tucks in the arm and maybe gets a separated shoulder. The collarbone break is an easier recovery, with better long-term prognosis, in terms of shoulder function and throwing motion.
He almost rolled out of the McClellin hit, he got it turned to his off shoulder but couldn't quite complete the roll before he hit the turf.
Why the hell do you think he wasn't in the pocket? Actually, there probably never was a pocket - that's the usual situation.
Romo wouldn't last a half with our O Line - and I mean the starters, much less this replacement bunch.
Hundley is a decent QB, but his glaring weakness in the preseason was lack of instinct to avoid the pass rush. I think he's got the mobility, but he has to learn when to use it. I think he has a good arm too, but I'm worried McCarthy will get overly cautious and not unleash him.
As I said yesterday, this season is not down the drain, whether Rodgers comes back or not. It will be damn tough, though, thanks to the mediocre supporting talent Ted Thompson blessed us with.
The natives will be restless until ARod is placed on IR.
People of Packerland, your god is dead!
All Worship Hundley.
With the new rule about bringing people back from IR, there's no reason to wait. On the fairly slim (I guess) chance he can come back this season, it can be done.
Damn Right, worship Hundley - or at least hope, pray, and trust in him. He's clearly the best option, and Callahan is clearly the second best.
