Taking snaps and handing off the ball will be painful, and if he can't get grip strength on the ball his passes will sail (read interceptions). If we have any chance at all of going all the way, Hill I going to have to stop dancing and start pounding the ball, Bernard will also have to step up. And the defense will have to be dominant and not disappear.

The tip of his thumb was out of the cast so maybe closer to the base?... Someone on pft brought up strength. I've been lucky to never have broke a broke a bone but how much strength will he lose in his arm if it's in a cast for 4 weeks?
