If you don't want a real discussion...ask someone else these pointless run ons.

There is more to a Cowboys discussion than a Cherry picked back drop of someone wants Romo replaced...yesterday. Reason, he got injured and doesn't have a Lombardi. Fail!

So you cant.

As usual!

I can speak from my own experience, as I had the Mumford Procedure done on my left shoulder in November 2014. I had developed a ton of bone spurs in my left AC joint and I had no cartilage left in that joint, leading to bone on bone rubbing together and causing a ton of pain.

The procedure is done primarily to alleviate pain, not to strengthen anything. When the surgeon slices of bone from the distal clavicle, it is done (1) to create space in the AC joint and (2) to create formation of scar tissue where the bone was cut away so that the scar tissue acts as cartilage and stops the bone on bone rubbing together.

It's a pretty simple surgery done via arthroscope and with a small incision and I was back to normal about 10 weeks after surgery, but it took rehab every day for those 10 weeks. Worked like a charm, the shoulder hasn't bothered me since.

If they are using the Mumford procedure in hopes of strengthening his collarbone or avoiding another collarbone break, it's definitely a Hail Mary attempt.

He could get the Mumford and the plate.. So now he has to avoid hits to the back and his upper body. Not much left to tackle.

The key part there is the scouts. Many people have suggested that we have to take a QB because we are this high and you don't get this chance often. But what if the scouts say the QBs aren't rated that high?

QBs do not become better because they are taken higher in the draft, QBs are supposed to be taken high because they are good (and the most important position.

Any suggestion that I have ever made concerning drafting a QB with the 4th pick is always with consideration of the scout.'s grades. I agree with you . If they pass on a QB that the scouts have rated high, then this is the dumbest FO and owner in pro sports .
