sucks for purdy. seems like a good dude.

so what is the 49ers plan?

garrapolo again?

they should consider trading for rodgers and having rodgers restructure his deal. 49ers window is these next 1-2 seasons. it took them 5-6 years building that roster. can't waste it by relying on trey lance of all QBs.

If the 9ers were so sure about Lance there wouldn’t have been chatter about getting anyone else. Trey is a typical rookie who won’t continue an 8 string set of mostly blowout wins, but he may be able to get that team on the winning side of 24 21 or whatever. That’s all that really matters.

Like I was saying to Marvin, in the other thread, He's staring down Tommy John, and looking for second opinions, hoping there is another option.

They are putting lipstick on a pig in claiming a 6-month return. Even if he avoids surgery, he won't be throwing accurate deep balls in 6 months.

Hope he had insurance on that arm. In fact, if he does have insurance, that may be why he needs the additional opinions.

With a complete UCL tear I was expecting tommy John procedure I have more experience with baseball players and it’s usually 1-2 years for recovery. A lot depends on how motivated the player is during rehab which is can be brutal.

The best Tommy John success stories

Tommy John surgery is the most famous medical procedure in all of sports, and even though the road to recovery is long for the players who have it, the surgery has a lasting legacy because it has saved countless careers. Well over 1,000 professional pitchers have had the ulnar collateral

At some point Whiner fans are going to have to deal with the realisation that it is Shanahan's play calling that is causing all these QB injuries. Yes he looks like a genius when the TE is wide open because he's not blocking / chipping the extra rusher or the RB is open out wide because he isnt picking up the blitzing LB but putting your QB in harms way to try and make it look like you have a dynamic offense is a folly and the real reason they will never win anything.

Jimmys ACL and injury this year were scrambling plays . Not play design . Also think some players don't feel pain the same way. How the heck is Mahomes playing with a high ankle sprain? Jimmy had a high ankle sprain against the Seahawks and was out for 6 weeks!

Drugs. Lots and lots of drugs. It is impressive how cognizant he is in the pocket with how hopped up he must be.

I'm not arguing against your primary point, but high ankle sprains are likely the most heterogenous injury that exists. No two are alike. Depending on the degree of syndesmotic separation, and the athletes' individual innervation, the injury can be tolerable, and resolve without intervention, to completely debilitating, requiring surgery.

And you are right, some people feel the pain from it more than others

Whether KS is responsible or not, it does seem that the Niners suffer from a higher number of weeks lost to injury among key players than most teams in the league.

What’s your opinion on Lance’s health? Jan 2, undergoes a second surgery on ankle to take out stabilizers that were irritating him. Usually when they insert hardware, isn’t that person expected to have it for life or a replacement part?

 

[seatownlowdown]

doesn't sound like 49ers brass are open or eager to add a proven guy to the QB room. maybe a smokescreen

I feel bad for Purdy, his was a pretty compelling story this year. I hope he comes back and has a long (but mediocre) career in the league. That aside, this couldn't happen to a nicer team. I look forward to next year's 49ers quarterback debacle. Garappolo signs elsewhere, Lance fails, and they have to turn to Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold.

Oh, and here are the other things on my 49ers wish list: (1) Trent Brown (age 34) decides to retire, (2) Nick Bosa wants to be the highest paid defensive player and breaks the bank, (3) McGlinchey signs with the Jets, (4) Jimmie Ward signs with another team.

Dont worry they can strengthen in the draft... oh wait.

He should sue the 49ers for putting him back in the game and aggravating his injury, making even worse than it was to begin with. They should have just used McCaferry as their emergency QB.

Did it really make it worse? All he did was pretty much hand the ball off from what I saw. And it's not like he got ordered back into the game against his will.

 

[Boycie]

I feel bad for that kid! I hope he can make a strong comeback.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I might hate the Niners, but that just plain sucks. He seems like a good dude. And did a hell of a job for a rookie 7th rounder.

I haven't seen an accurate description of the injury. Could be unimalleolar, bimalleolar, or trimalleolar. If we knew the extent of the injury, we could speculate a little more.

It is not uncommon for people, especially athletes, to have hardware removed. The fact that it is being done now might give us a clue to the extent of the injury, and the type of repair.

On the left is a trimalleolar repair. Note the large screw connecting the two bones (tibia and fibula). This screw is necessary when there is disruption of the syndesmotic connection between the tibia and fibula. On the right is a more simple bimalleolar fracture repair.

If I was to put money on it. I would guess his repair included a long screw, holding the tibia and fibula together. That tends to be more painful than the ones that are only in one bone, and sometimes can limit the range of motion a little.

That's just an educated guess, though.
