Travis Frederick update?

This is based on absolutely nothing.
nothing? Go read up on this autoimmune disorder. Its very unpredictable. Theres absolutely no timeline .good or bad. That said, best thing to do as a team is to proceed as if he's not even on the team. I believe that's what they are doing. Tell me when he's comin back?
 
I don't know. Nobody knows, guessing is a fool's game at this point.

The only thing I would think is that Schlereth is a bad comparison, b/c he found it way late, and TFred found it early before it had really progressed, so I'd be surprised if he didn't play next year.
I 100% think he's back next year. I am going to safely say there is little to no chance he plays this year.
 
LIKE I SAID...HE AINT COMIN BACK. If he does, we still cannot count on him being there each week...furthermore, being that stud olineman we all loved. Reality may be stranger than fiction. We must get used to Joe Looney..he is the future at center going forward...and it could be much worse. Looney is fine by me.

and that is your view based on nothing. Frederick along with his doctors seem to have a different take but then what do they know.
 
nIts very unpredictable. Theres absolutely no timeline .good or bad.
Which means that any claim he's never playing again is based on nothing. Anyone who says anything other than "I don't know" is full of it.

it may be a bad comp...but its the best one at this point. Business is business, and the NFL tends to be the most brutal. I assure you, the team isn't counting on his services this year,and if by chance he does play soon...the expectations are being set realistic.

well where is he? lol...THERE IS NO TIMELINE. At what level of play will he be at if and when he does somehow get on the field? If this FO is banking on him being here I would be shocked...even for Daddy and Goober.

It's not about being right or wrong it's based on an opinion or gut feeling. My brother practices Anesthesia and I spoke to him about it when it first happened. His told me odds are he comes back and can fully recover but more than likely doesn't see a down this year. He is a Steelers fan so I don't know how serious I can take him lol.

calm down there bud. Go read up on this disease. I did my due diligence and the facts are the facts. He may be back in 2 weeks, or not at all. Get hurt all you want, its not personal..just fact.

Amen Henessy. Well said. Its a real crap shoot.

We come in here and give our opinion then you have a bunch of people who don't even disagree but just want to argue like females, but won't take a stance on anything. lol cowards on the interwebz
 
I never wanna count out Fred Beard..but the human element of this tells me he should go ahead and sit out this year and regroup..THEN lets see if he can return to form and beat this. Its a nasty disease.

Lol, yea. But our gut feelings are baseless because we're not medical professionals and aren't in the doctor's office with Frederick. We are making assumptions based on 0 information.

yup, its ridiculous...but my stance is the person. The fact is Fred needs to look long term and so does the club. My gut says that's what is happening. Hoping for a full recovery,but if that happens he will still be week to week because my understanding is he can have flare ups happen.

Googling it isn't due diligence, and you haven't presented any facts lol. "Nobody knows the timeline" means your guess on when he returns is completely baseless whether it turns out to be right or not.

I could guess right now that Patrick Mahomes will be traded before the deadline, and it would come from nowhere. It doesn't become a smarter prediction if it actually does happen, because there's nothing to support that. This is basically what is going on with anyone who guesses when TFred will be back.

You seem to know this since you are the one making the claims that he will never play again. And this is based on what? You spoke to Frederick and his doctors?

You can look up the disease yourself and see there was another pro lineman that had it and gave his personal experience with it. And can make a pretty good educated guess. So you think he will return this year?
 
we don't need to have a doctors degree to have an opinion...jeesh. This isn't a test of our medical prowess. lol..its a friendly debate. Right or wrong isn't the point.

Nah..I read up and did some research on this horrific unpredictable disease. Try it maybe...it might help ya.

I have spoken to extended family about this and I have siblings in the medical field that see this daily...AND YES..I read up on it. I admittedly knew nothing about it,but after much studying etc...I think its a safe bet that if he plays,it wont be this year...and if he does, he will be watched closely.
