lol - so now you are again saying DRAMATICALLY was my word and not yours, despite the fact I proved otherwise.

Remember? You asked me to show where you used the word DRAMATICALLY first, and I did, citing the specific post, and posting the specific words. When I said show me anywhere I used the word dramatically, it was in reference to the quote I provided, which was my FIRST COMMENT about what qualifies as a successful surgery that you in turn responded too with the words improved dramatically. Nowhere in my comment did I use the word dramatically. ZERO, ZILCH..

You are either very forgetful or very deceitful and taking the position yet again that all you need is to say something for it to be so, truth and logic be damned.

And, again, you are being ridiculous. A successful surgery means he plays again, and an unsuccessful surgery would have meant he wouldn't play again, yet here you are saying a successful surgery has no impact on whether he will play again.

That's like saying successfully performing CPR on a patient who's heart stops has no impact on the patient being able to live. The success of the procedure actually does matter.

Man, you must really enjoy taking Ls. You referencing where I used dramatically has no bearing on who used the word first.

Your VERY FIRST POST in this thread used the word dramatically. YOU USED IT FIRST.

My usage of it was to mock your claims of you using the word dramatically FIRST.

Say it for me, “L”

And no, it’s nothing like the two, because a successful outcome in the case of CPR is to start the heart again. A successful surgery in the case of cervical fusion is the vertebrate being fused without any necessarily complications.

My very first post in this thread was post #19. The word DRAMATICALLY is not in it.

But as I said, even if I used it, how is the difference between not being able to play football again and being able to play football again not a dramatic difference? Do you really think LVE can make just as many tackles from his couch as he can playing in NFL games? I would say he can make dramatically more tackles playing in the games than not.

Uh yeah..

I’m pretty sure celebrating after getting smoked on defense does qualify as lacking in intelligence...

It really doesn’t but you clearly have an axe to grind with regards to Smith, so grind away.

“Even if I used it”.. No, you did use it first and now, after admitting it, your engaging in nonsensical world play to try and justify your usage.

That's a pretty goofy comment. Obviouisly a successful surgery provides a dramatically better chance of LVE playing again at a high level than an unsuccessful surgery would.

Your respond was ridiculously asinine, because you have no clue how a successful surgery is defined. I never claimed that a surgery with complications is better than a surgery without complications. What I share very clearly was a successful surgery means the surgery went through without complications, it has no bearing on whether or not LVE can actually play as a LB with fused vertebrae and in his case, spinal stenosis.

And I already explained it to you multiple times, that claiming it will make a dramatic difference is absurd, because of COUNTLESS historical examples.

But you just want yo save face like you are doing here now trying to justify your use of dramatic.

Or it could be, I don’t have an axe to grind, you just have feelings for Smith to the point that you justify celebrating after giving up a big play as an example of football intelligence and smarts..

A successful neck surgery definition is no paralysis or limited restriction in movement.

If you're a ham & egger working 40 hours a week pushing pens, typing keys or making
widgets, that's great news. However, if you happen to be an NFL linebacker, that surgery
will be tested repeatedly. Like surviving a car crash and jumping right back in for
another one, and another, for roughly 3 hours straight.

It seems a bit "goofy" to assume successful surgery simply means all is well now and
it will never be an issue again. It could happen on the very first contact.

Another player that was the "Wolfhunter" way before he should have been anything but a competent LB. Amazing what a not serious about football culture can do to a talented young player. His drop off from 2018 to 2019 was scary. Personally, I think Dallas needs to rebuild their LB corp from scratch. More meat eaters and less flashy. Not sold on LVE yet.
He didnt start calling himself The Wolf Hunter, the media did. You guys get so worked up over a bunch of nothing

You still are making no sense. Before the surgery he was deemed unable to play, and now he is deemed to have a very good chance to play. That means the surgery being successful had a huge bearing on his chance to play. I understand that a “successful surgery” means it went through without complications, but that definition doesn’t somehow change the fact that by having a successful surgery LVE has an opportunity to continue playing football - an opportunity he did not have before the surgery, or that likely would not have had if the surgery had been unsuccessful. None of that is even disputable, yet here you are still disputing it.

They celebrate. Why is it LVE doing it such a big deal?

To be clear I like the guy but he has a ways to go. A couple games into his career he is howling away. This season he is howling away while he and the defense gets burned with regularity. They lack self awareness. It looks worse on a second year player that is playing terribly. It’s embarrassing.

Honestly who cares if they celebrate a play. Go watch the 31 other teams play, those players celebrate making plays. And its been that way for a very long.

Yeah? 25 years and counting. Barry Sanders acted like he’d been there before. Smith celebrating a tackle when the team is down double digits is embarrassing. They are clueless. But keep pumping those Pom Poms.

Barry Sanders never won anything. Maybe he should have had some celebration

Emmitt Smith also too his helmet off in the endzone after every TD to the point it was outlawed.

We arent talking about Jaylon Smith, we are talking about LVE and that you seem to take offense to his nickname

.

No, you didn't claim it was better, you just claimed it was no different than a successful surgery with no complications in terms of whether LVE can actually play football.
