Have you ever met someone who had back surgery and told you it was the worst decision they ever made? Do you think they would have agreed to surgery if they knew it would it would be the worst decision of their life? There is an element of the unknown to surgery and recovery. Kinda similar to the fog of war.
If the initial injury was what you say and the surgery required it wouldn't take a crystal ball to predict 8 weeks of recovery. Thats all that would have been needed on IR. Instead they've let him eat a roster spot for the ENTIRE season. And still are.
