I will believe the Jaylon hype if and only if I see him on the field during the season next year. Until then we have wasted yet another 2nd rounder.
Pretty much how I feel about it. I put the Jaylon progress reports in the same category as the annual "this guy is killing it in practice this year" during OTAs and preseason only never to heard from again during the year.

free country feel however you choose. I saw reports when he was 1st injured to recent reports showing a lot of improvement. Those close to the situation seem to be very optimistic and so that is why I feel as I do. If you think all these reports are BS then fine that is how you see it.
.
So you don't think we've seen progress in Smith from wearing a brace to now just needing a tape job?

I beg to differ.
He's just salty because of the definitive statements he made about Jaylon never playing a down constantly being thrown back at him. He's trying to get his potshots in while he can

So all this "progress" that's been reported he's making has just been fake news? I don't like being lied to.
Wait you said Jaylon would never play a down of football in the National Football League?

Hey man. You called your shot and shooters shoot.

But yikes.

yep. Most everyone that is saying Jaylon will never play said that on day one. Now that they are in the midst of being forced to eat crow they are hoping he will fail.

Fans didn't like being made to wait on their second round pick to get on the field and so some of them threw a hissy fit. You know: "Terrible pick. He'll never play. Wasted choice. Jerry is the Debil."

It's the worst thing about this place. There are countless people who are more concerned with being right than being a fan. Fortunately, I come here to be a fan and get good information, so who is right or wrong means absolutely nothing to me. Conversely, if I am the one who's wrong, as long as my misjudgement is one which benefits the team, I'm golden.

He's still wearing a brace.

What kind of brace? Is he wearing an AFO or is he wearing the standard ankle brace?

From the pics I have seen with his tape job he doesn't appear to be wearing an AFO which is what is important. He will likely wear an ankle brace forever.

I don't know. I don't remember where I saw it but there is a new video of Stephen talking about Smith still needing the brace but that wouldn't stop him from playing.

I haven't read everything, but is there a note on his "official medical status". I mean is he cleared to do what?

...and I admitted I was wrong about Smith.
Maybe you should think about what made you form such a strong opinion without any relevant facts and change it up.

Your posts from this thread don't indicate to me you've made such a change.

Between Floaty and mrtxstar, this thread really has a lot of LOL potential.

Wait. Is the writer of this article, ProFootballDoc, Dr. Chao?

not sure by the wording if this person is a doctor with bad grammar or a journalist who is terrible at their job.
