What I’m saying is Lucks body broke down after awhile and it struggled to recover from injuries that shouldn’t have taken as long to recover from.
I believe he shouldn’t be this bad off still given the injury took place in July. He is and it’s equally likely that his body is beat down and slow to recover as anything else.
It’s a legit and factual opinion as it relates to the toll injuries take on a body. But folks is defensive and I get it.
People said the same thing about Rich Braham's bone bruise. Because they didn't know it was a tibial plateau fracture. And AJ Green's ankle. And Eifert's ankle. And Palmer's elbow. Andre Smith's foot. Etcetera. Usually when a player's recovery doesn't match the prognosis it means we haven't been given all the details to know what the true prognosis is. A 2 cm difference in the fracture location of a 5th metatarsal fracture can mean the difference between a return to play in 4 weeks versus out for the rest of the season. But a fan hears "foot fracture" and thinks 4 weeks because they don't know the details that make a huge difference in the prognosis.
So what was the extent of Burrow's calf injury initially which you're basing your prognosis on? My point is you don't know. You have an opinion. Doesn't mean it is factual. In fact, you don't have the facts. It's been a closely guarded secret since Day 1.
