NFL: No Jaylon Smith

[plymkr]

Jaylon's nerve is starting to get on my nerves. Everyday it's a different breakout story and the stories keep contradicting each other. Whatever, we're 9-1, hopefully after today we'll be 10-1 and there's no "source close to the organization" that can break the news that we haven't won 9 straight for the first time in franchise history

We'll be lucky if he's ever the player he was in college.

These nerve firing threads are tiring and they should be merged or create a forum for them. It's become annoying to keep seeing threads about it. If we drafted a healthy player they would be helping our defense right now but we keep talking about a player who may never end up seeing the field.

But muh pessimism.

A "breaking news" thread was started saying his nerve was firing and now it's not.

We haven't heard from Dr Google in this thread yet. I'll wait for his expertise.

I said last night. EMG reports improved but still no sensation in nerve to help raise his foot up.




EMG improved = it is 'firing' though not enough to raise the foot up.
Foot drop has different levels of severity, and it is improving.

How much more clear can it be???

The only thing clear is he's not playing this season, a year of development down the drain.

This defence needed immediately help...not help in 2017 or 2018, it needed serious help...so 2 years in row we throw away a 2nd on 2 questionable players, in the future this team needs to better vett players and avoid players like this...

Please refer to doc50's post I reposted in #32.
You do not get generational LBs in the 2nd round unless there is a serious problem.
He may not play this year, but I am happy to wait the 3 weeks to see what happens.

You'll be waiting a lot longer for him to see the field and so far it's been a waste of a high second round pick. Back to back years we've wasted second round picks on defensive players that are either rehabbing a drug problem or an injury instead of helping our defense that needs plenty of help.

WHAT!

I"m stunned that Charles Tapper ran 50 yards!

...I'm serious.

His 40 at the combine was impressive. Dude is fast.

That nerve fires this draft will go down in history. Zeke, Dak & Jaylon in ONE DRAFT?

I know some posters try the psy ops thing "I don't think he ever plays again, I hope for NOTHING!" but come on.

The only issue was would it fire in time for him to do anything on the field this season. I'm fine with him spending a year as an understudy off the field for a decade of play in the middle of the Cowboy's defense.

 

[The Quest for Six]

See ya next season, Jaylon.

Hopefully..

If the threads and their content bothers you so much, there's an easy remedy for that and it even requires 1 less click.

It's a big IF whether Smith ever returns to form but this draft could still go down as the greatest ever in Cowboys history if Dak and Zeke continue to progress. Let's not forget Anthony Brown who's shown great potential.

You forgot Collins and Brown. Even without Jaylon this draft has already been historically good for the team.

In other news, I think my nerves are firing a lil too much.

Where is my beer and when does the game start.

So is the question really "if Jaylon's nerve is firing" any more?
If not, then perhaps you should be straight forward and make your real point.

It is hard to believe people are unsatisfied with the 2016 draft.
Their draft philosophy may be to be conservative in the 1st and take risks in the 2nd, balancing each other out.
It is pretty silly to pick apart the draft results and selectively choose the ones you dont like when you have no idea of what their overall strategy was.

Having said that, after Hardy and Gregory, I think they would stay away from players with serious personality flaws - unless the risk-rewards was overwhelming.
I dont think they will stay away from injury risks like Lee, Carter and Jaylon.

The content doesn't bother me because I don't click on most of them but nothing can be done about seeing the threads if they're posted in the Fan Forum. The threads can be merged or start a forum for them and move all the threads that are started about his nerve there.
