Twitter: No more brace for Smith

[Avery]

Bottom line, no more excuses. Hoping the guy plays like a Pro Bowl LB'er.

Lord knows we need it.

 

[Corso]

Weren't their a bunch of keyboard doctors that said this would never happen?

@Risen Star , for one.

mrxstar/JoeKing was the main one

 

[Bizwah]

I'm gonna miss anaylzing the photos to see if he's wearing a brace or not.

 

[Haimerej]

This is where I say, "told ya."

 

[ak47kaehu]

Brace yourselves for the return of the jaylon of old......hopefully!

 

[millennial_legend]

Your signature sucks, you need to take the traffic cone 79 out and put Connor Williams there

 

[Stash]

 

[millennial_legend]

IF he can get back to 100% then we will have a very special linebacking group.

until Jenga block Ree gets hurt again, lol.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

And Gregory's no longer wearing his marijuana nicotine patch. It's a good day in Dallas!

 

[Ebnorice]

Man if he and vandy can meet their potential and lee stay healthy !

 

[JoeKing]

Congrats to Dr. Dan Cooper for a great job on repairing Jaylon's knee.

 

[CowboyStar88]

I read right here that his “nerve” should’ve healed with the given timeline. It took a few extra months. But this is huge news for Jaylon and the club!

Now hopefully he can shake the wasted pick label

 

[CowboyStar88]

Oh and Doctor Chao can suck it

He’s a hack.

 

[lukin2006]

I hope proves me wrong and he was not a wasted 2nd round pick...good for him...I'm rooting for him. If he really is the player from Notre Dame...thats great news.

Here’s the most prominent one

Bro...

 

[lkelly]

I can only assume that this meant amputation.

 

[Whyjerry]

I hope he crushes it to shut all the doubters up. Guy played well last year all thing considered. Coaches did not help him at all.

Yeah. No matter how many studies I posted showing the, "timeframe," wasn't definitive and examples of guys fully recovering well past the, "timeframe," people rather wanted to believe the word of a disgraced doctor who had never reviewed Jaylon's record. They were calling Cooper a biased source rather than deferring to his expertise. I hope this episode reinforces Cooper as one of the best in his field and shows others why you shouldn't take the word of ANY doctor willing to speak about a patient they've never seen.
