Jaylon Smith's nerve not firing

[Alexander]

Next we'll be hearing that he can't wipe himself.

Followed by the comment, "but he is so focused though".

Wow...all I can say right now is not allowed to be said on this message board, we screwed up and there are only two options 1. Go fowared 2. Keep going forward. Man I hate this for Jaylon...and being selfish...I hate this for my team.

I hate everything right now!!!! ​

I'd take Jaylon w knee brace and all playing than half jags we have.

Is it safe to assume that <IF> his nerve never fires the conversation shifts from whether or not he can be an All-Pro type of player to "can he be an NFL LB at all"?

 

[perrykemp]

I'd take Jaylon w knee brace and all playing than half jags we have.

Is the knee brace the issue or does it just represent the bigger issue of drop-foot?

Has any NFL player ever played with this condition before?

Can one of our resident medical experts explain why this is a big deal if he's able to move with the same fluidity we've seen in recent workout videos?

 

[hornitosmonster]

He needs to go to Europe and try some stem cell treatments.

Fisher also just tweeted Free considering retirement

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Aka permanent paralysis... great

Gimp.

Fisher also just tweeted Free considering retirement

So there's a shred of light amongst the darkness?

 

[CowboyStar88]

I'll wait until I hear it from Jaylon directly

 

[unionjack8]

Ian Rapaport.
Nuff said.
Last time he was right on a cowboys related matter?

 

[HanD]

I'm confused. People are talking about knee braces and impact on his knee and shortening his NFL career. I thought his knee was just fine and fully recovered. He is only wearing a medical device on his foot to help with drop foot. This has no impact on his knee is what i thought i understood. He can play with it and 1 other person has played with it in the nfl? Was i reading and remembering incorrectly?

 

[Oh_Canada]

Conflicted here-Horrible pick at the time and worse now and I feel bad for Jaylon.

 

[jazzcat22]

To your point, it would be nice for the organization or someone with medical authority to provide a definitive status update. Seems all we get is innuendo, vagueness or some snippet from that unnamed source. I understand the FO is not obligated to say anything but the fact we haven't heard something specific, undeniable from the FO leads me to think no definitive news is bad news.

So typical of the FO...we will get no news, nor should they be obligated to do so. That is debatable. All I expect until TC....he is........Day To Day....

 

[popp1234]

Sad for him, if true.

Yes. I am beginning to hope he can just play in the NFL, even if it's not at a high level. He has worked so damn hard for it. He definitely deserves it.

 

[Satchel89]

was a bad pick to start in with was a player we should of never drafted will never be more than a average player at best

I said the exact same thing. I hated the pick because of the players available that would of played last year. Thankfully they did a pretty good job with their other picks but that was and still is a bad draft pick.

 

[perrykemp]

. This has no impact on his knee is what i thought i understood. He can play with it and 1 other person has played with it in the nfl? Was i reading and remembering incorrectly?

That's why I am curious about -- is there any history of other players having successful NFL careers while playing with drop foot?

 

[tyke1doe]

not saying this is about Rapoport for sure, but Sturm has had run ins with him before about getting things wrong

He is one of the worst insiders who have credibility in the field. So I take the reports with a grain of salt.

I think people also need to be very careful because we are in the pre-draft season, the season of subterfuge. Maybe the Cowboys want teams to think we're aiming for a linebacker in the draft.

 

[tyke1doe]

Well, guess we should just cut him then. SInce you are Marty McFly who knows the future.

Tell me doctor, where are we going this time ...
