Unconfirmed Rumor about Brees (1 Viewer)

IF that’s the case, blow it for Burrows.

It’s obvious our next QB isn’t on the roster.

Let’s at least go with “Blow for Joe”

(If Drew’s out, I’m not against it, btw. Also not an LSU homer)

Just looked at his twitter. He’s as reliable as a square tire.

He said the trainer on the sideline said it was a broken thumb, yet they didn’t do an immediate X-ray? I call BS.

or have ice on it for the swelling

Yea I’m a little inebriated lol so take my posts with a grain of salt. I’m just over reacting like we all do after a tough loss. I even got a facepalm from Andrus himself! Heartbreaking ?

But I will stand by the notion that our next QB is not on the roster. I’d love for us to get Burrows if at all possible.

Lol I figured something had to be fishy.

I have people texting me that Brees was seen wearing a brace typically worn for ligament damage.

With a name like Richard Tator? How can I take that seriously.

Because we are holding on to any thread we can find.

Article on NOLA.com said that Brees did have the thumb X-rayed at half-time too. My impression is that the doctors and the team have a very good idea re what happened, and it's not good.

I will only believe it from Lawn Guy Dave.

Just read this regarding a UCL (thumb) tear.
Following surgery, patients will be placed in a cast for four to six weeks to protect the repaired ligament. At that point, gentle motion of the finger will begin. Most patients are able to play sports 3 to 4 months after surgery. Risks of surgery include infection, healing problems, and nerve injury. In addition, even with the surgical procedure, the damage to ligament will need time for healing.

For what it's worth.

I can’t believe you guys are making fun of Richard Tator. I’m going to tell Peter Kumquat about this

Not his real name. It's Peter Peter Pumpkin-Eater. (yes, it IS hyphenated)

 

[Booker]

I’m being told it’s a broken thumb and he’s having surgery tomorrow.

On a day like today, it’s the little things wherever we find them.

Being a Saints fan has never been easy, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun when the peaks come.
