McNabb Out For The Season

[NYCSkin]

Torn ACL this late in the year not only does McNabb in for this year but also next year. I would not expect McNabb to be ready and effective until December next year.

They say 8-12 months from what I heard. I mean Culpepper tore his around this time last year (might have been early November) and he's definitely not healthy yet.

8 or 9 months is the typical window for recovery. I would expect him to be ready for the season no problem.

He should be ready but they say an ACL injury takes about two years to fully recover. McNabb is a hard worker though and will be back.

He'll be ready by the opener and will all be deluged with teary-eyed SportCenter features about how much courage and fortitude it took for him to make this amazing recovery. (Pam Oliver: Was there ever a time when you thought you might not be able to play again?) It's the same story they do on Donovan every year. Rush Limbaugh was mean to him. T.O was mean to him. He's always overcoming something that is peripheral to the actual game. I'm sorry for his pain, but the media's bizarre treatment of him is just... bizarre. Do a story about someone else. Anyone else.

I agree 110%. Does anyone else besides me think that THIS is what Limbaugh was mentioning when he made his "racially insensitive" comments?

He's great for the game, plays the game for the right reasons, and is a team player in every sense of the word, but if only ESPN and similar outlets would stop acting like he's a sure fire hall-of-famer, I'd be satisfied.

Do a story about someone else. Anyone else.[/

The lack of national media attetion given to Ade Jimoh just irks me the wrong way.

Ready and effective is what I said. And 8-9 months is not the typical window for recovery. A year is typical and even if he heals at a miraculous pace--and is ready in 9 months--his effectiveness will suffer. For every Carson Palmer, there are many more Dante Culpeppers or Ahman Greens or Trent Greens, in the world of knee repair...

Basically it all depends on how bad the injury is. Culpepper shredded his entire knee last year and had no business being on the field week 1, the Dolphins effed that situation up pretty bad.

Of course McNabb's effectiveness will suffer next year, but in all likelihood he will have no problem being ready for the start of the season.
