If the best QB the Giants drafted can play on a torn ACL....

Why can't Saquon?

Jan. 20, 2008, serves as a defining moment in Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers' NFL career.

The now-37-year-old quarterback played against the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game six days after suffering a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee.

Great thread. Definitely worth it

but if you are serious you are a moron.
Two different positions  
jestersdead : 9/21/2020 1:54 pm : link
one requires more cutting and stability, which the ACL provides. Even with a brace on, Barkley would be a shell of himself

I assume this is humor/trolling, and people are taking the bait.

Yeah I remember that game

His arrogance and foolishness trying to play, rendering him a statue in the pocket that the Patriots easily teed off on, cost them a chance at the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, a competent and healthy veteran QB backup in Billy Volek watched from the sideline.

Had they turned to Volek, they could've won that game. You didn't mention how Rivers fared in that game - 17-31 for 211 yards, 0 TDs, and 2 INTs. Stellar.

This is also a bit of revisionist history. This was the game Tomlinson decided to sit out because his knee hurt after taking the first 2 handoffs of the game. Chargers settled for field goals instead of TDs deep in the Pats redzone.
Different sport..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 9/21/2020 2:20 pm : link
but it is a loooooong line drive to deep center. It is stuck in the ivy!

He's a statue with 2 good ACLs.

Taking the bait is an understatement. Well done, Brett.

My immediate reaction to the thread starter was...  
Big Blue Blogger : 9/21/2020 10:12 pm : link
“Nah, Simms missed the whole ‘82 season after tearing his ACL in the Jets exhibition game. He wasn’t fully healthy until 1984, and he never regained much mobility.”

Then... “Oh, OK. Rivers... Whatever.”

It's not at all. Rivers couldn't move and it was clear watching it. Whether or not Tomlinson played is not the issue. They would've had a better chance to win if Volek played. They still had a lot of talent on that team and Rivers should've sat.

I figured that, and yet I still like talking about football history. But I also love naps.
