And I know it doesn't mean much, but I broke my thumb wrestling in high school and was only in a cast for 3 weeks. Then I was back wrestling again. Obviously it's a bit different than throwing a football but wrestling does require you use your hands and grip quite a bit.
Hell Marvin, is smiling and giggling when we where getting blowed out. Don't think that's a gauge to use.

I agree, Bernard needs the majority of touches per game from any offensive player while Andy is out (or even when Andy is in). Next, Eifert. Next, Green.
Yep gio has been money most times his numbers have been called. At least on swing passes and such.
Why is it that every time there is an injury discussed on these boards there are so many negative opinions? So many "he won't be the same", "he needs way more rest than the Doctors and team advise", "no way will he be back". I have read through so many comments and not one has stated "I am a Doctor", let alone "I am an Orthopedic Hand Surgeon". Dalton will come back when it is healed and he can properly grip the ball. Once the bone is healed, and the Doctors say he is good to go, then he is ready to play... simple as that. He will get the best care that money can buy, he is young and healthy, there is no reason to believe that he will not fully heal from this in a very timely manner.

Don't you know you're not supposed to actually speak those words?? Now you have to immediately go outside, build a small temple, set it on fire, all while saying the phrase backwards seven times

I'm trusting what doctors have said and going by what I've seen.
So far, the earliest they are HOPING for is week 17. Which is possible, since the younger you are the quicker your bones heal.
Just need AJ to guide the ship for a couple weeks.
The matchups are good.
Just need a great game against Denver.
Give Dalton time to heal.
You can bet he will do everything possible since hes a tough guy and I doubt he would want to end his coming of age year on this note.
If AD is healthy he is the guy no matter how the next 2-3 weeks go.

Exactly. Some people want to bench a MVP candidate who was having the best season of his career and arguably the best of any Bengals QB for someone who might do well against a Blaine Gabbert and Matt Schaub/Mallet led team.

Dalton has been amazing this year reading Defenses and has improved in every aspect. He is a better running
QB as well and the team knows he is the leader. He still will be our leader, just on the sideline for the time being.
You are not a real fan of the team.....you are a fan of someone on the team....

They don't have to be doctors or orthopedic specialists, they stayed at a Holiday Inn Express the night before they posted!
.....on all accounts.
