Even if he were to miss the first few weeks, is a guy like Bridgewater objectively “that” much better than Siemian. I know bridgewater had a better collegiate career, but as nfl players… when given the opportunity, they are about the same. Fwiw.
I would put it much higher than 75%. The few doctors’ opinions I’ve read on these types of injuries (there’s no way it’s worse than grade 2), the usual timeline is 28 days, give or take. He’s playing week 1. But like I said in the other post, the injury will linger. But this is a guy that played the second half of the national championship with torn rib cartilage. I don’t think it’s going to slow him down at all.
And as I said before, if Joe is “injury prone” it’s almost positively due to his boldness / stubbornness and lack of fear, so he takes risks and doesn’t really care about the possible consequences. He will never be a “play it safe” guy.
