jerry just said in the pressor that it is not a given that he will play this year with a brace

But you are fooling yourself if you think there's not people who are so dead set on being right about him being a bad pick that they are looking for the bad in any news.

Mind showing me the evidence of this?

 

[Trouty]

yes. This is first report of him dorsiflexing (lifting toward ceiling) anything in that left foot.

Thought so, Wood. Thanks.

 

[Trouty]

My friend, this is GREAT NEWS.

Any and every Jaylon thread ever created? I'm not going to go look at every thread for examples. If you want to see it so bad or prove me wrong, go find it yourself.

 

[Hardline]

My "sources" say that Jaylon cannot move his toes.

How about in this one thread? You made the claim. I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from. To be honest, it kind of sounds like you're lashing out at anyone who isn't as optimistic as you. Hence my comment on boths sides of the debate doing the same thing.

 

[fishspill]

Really wanting this to work out. He seems like a deserving guy.

 

[Hardline]

Kind of funny that there is only a couple of pages on positive news of the nerve firing and all the posters-posing-as-doctors are missing in action from this thread. A nerve not firing headline would have generated 15 pages of 'I-told-you-so' and 'should-have-never-drafted-him' and 'another-wasted-2nd-rd-pick.'

There's still a chance that could happen.

so your saying Stephan & Jerry just straight out lying as smoke screen for draft?

 

[JJHLH1]

If Jaylon has nerve function all the way to his toes that is a very good sign. This is excellent news indeed. Can't wait for training camp. The already epic draft of 2016 could become biblical.

I was basically just kidding. But until the team acknowledges this it's a worthless tweet.

They just did. You missed the conference.

Feel free to browse my history and see how optimistic I've been. I've been neutral and actually evaluating based on news. Apparently it's too much for everyone to evaluate based on what is known and what comes to light instead of where they initially dug their heels in at.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Well I'm lifting my toes through osmosis, hope that helps Jaylon.

 

[Wood]

you have an odd sense of humor then.

Jerry just talked about this at length at the pre-draft PC. As did Garrett.

I guess it's possible they are lying, but I tend to think they are not.

 

[JoeKing]

In one of the countless billions of galaxies in the universe, lies a medium-sized star, and one of its satellites, a green and insignificant planet, is now witness to Jaylon Smith's toe lift.

I've tuned Jerry out at this point, his mind games have gotten old and it sounds like he's just countering Stephen.

Fair enough. I didn't mean to question your stance on Jaylon. Just trying to see who these folks who want him to fail are. I've never seen one.

I didn't like the pick and would change it today if I could. Today's news is different, because it's a concrete example of improvement. But there have been plenty of articles with blatant speculation and a distinct lack of substance. It's perfectly reasonable not to put stock in them. It's perfectly reasonable, even, to not get your hopes up today. We still don't know if he'll ever have any more control over his foot that he does this very second. All we can do is cross our fingers. Some will be more eager than others to get their hopes up--and that's okay. Niether side should be bashing the other for that.
