Yeah, well, it's an indisputable fact that no revived corpse has ever failed in the NFL. I've seen Frankenstein, so I don't understand what the holdup is.

I know it’s not football related but I go in next month for one and a bit nervous, to say the least.vtraider wrote: Thu Dec 18, 2025 2:36 pm I started at 6 ft had 2 fusions and over 50. I'm but there yet but getting close
How’d it work out for you?
And I’m quite a bit older, so there’s that.
On a positive note, I’ll have lots of free time to bug the shit out of everybody on the forum afterwards.

Make sure to stay on your DR about follow up care. My first one I was younger and the DR didn't order anything. Not even physical therapy. Just said "ah you're young enough you'll heal on your own". By the time I got in with another DR he said it healed. It healed wrong but it healed. Said they could take everything out and start from scratch but it was a 30 % success rate. So he didn't recommend it. I haven't felt my left leg since. Second one went well though.

Ironic that you talk about facts but make this claim.chucker wrote: Thu Dec 18, 2025 1:32 pm Bennett was ahead of Ringo on the depth chart..... as was basically everyone else they could find. Ringo only plays when they are devastated by injuries. And that's not saying Bennett is great, just better than some guy whose only value is in getting things off the tops of the kitchen cupboards.
The team that drafted Bennett got rid of him, because he was too small to play the position based on what Pete Carroll wants in his scheme.
My original argument was we should have never drafted Bennett because he was too small. So, who ended up being right?
You mentioned QB's under 6'3 and then proceeded to list a QB that isn't penciled under 6'3. I'm simply pointing out your error.Stafford is listed at 6-3 - so well below the 6-4 threshold for a SB QB obviously. He measured at 6-2 1/4 at the combine though so that's the most objective measure. He clearly sucks because of his height.
Now we've ventured off into the semantical part of the debate.
No matter how you try to present the argument, the majority of the QB's are 6'4 and over. A minority are under 6'4. That's literally want an outlier is.8 of the last 25 SB winning QBs are under 6-4, regardless of whether Stafford is 6-2 or 6-3. And 4 winners in a row and 5 of the last 6 SB winners are under 6-4. It's just not a metric to rely on. Like most traits, there's not a hard and fast rule.
The overarching point in what I wrote is that the majority of the QB's are taller, which is an objective fact. Anything else is nit picking.Really the point is that you just don't appear to care if you have any "facts" correct. You just make them up. That's not really a revelation, I just feel the need to say it about once a year. I'm over it for a while again.
Also, a major component that's missing for this debate is that the greatest quarterback of all time IS 6'4.

Good luck with that, I hope everything works out for you. Provided your surgeon did not attend med school at UW, it should.Viper wrote: Thu Dec 18, 2025 4:23 pm I know it’s not football related but I go in next month for one and a bit nervous, to say the least.

mranquales said, "Mendoza is 6'5"... that's a franchise QB..."
to me, that is him literally saying that's a physical attribute one would PREFER in a top QB prospect. personally, I find that easy as hell to agree with... if you have a choice between 6'5", 225 Mendoza, or a 6'2" 205 Mendoza... you're taking 6'5". if you say otherwise, you're lying to yourself.
yet, multiple people somehow find a way to warp his post into, "if you're tall, welp, you're a franchise QB... if you're not, sorry, not possible."
they wanna hate so bad, they read into shit that isn't even there, lol. ridiculous.
