Official - Kyler has a torn ACL (Surgery went well)

[Mainstreet]

Cardinals better improve their offensive line.

We've been saying this for years

Vital to the teams success

Also, keep in mind until he's fully cleared to run that any passing he does will be in a pocket situation with little ability to move and juke around. This could help him with pocket awareness and trust... especially since his injury was non-contact while running, instead of getting smashed in the pocket.

Better build the heck out of the Oline - 3 new starters at a minimum!!!

All of the other ligaments are intact, which is the best case scenario at this point.

At his age the meniscus can be repaired which is critical for having stabilization in the knee & avoiding arthritic pain. I still have 75% of mine in my right knee but I feel pain in that knee from time to time. My orthopedic surgeon told me that when you get older, the meniscus wouldn't heal even if it is stitched up. He said if I was younger it would. I just hope they fix it right because I know how it will feel from time to time if they don't. I workout with weights to strengthen the muscles around the knee but 25% of my meniscus is no longer stabilizing it.
Let's hope for the best, I'm sure Kyler will get the best doctor possible.

Except what time does that leave him to work on the important aspects of his game he has neglected up until now? Best case, for me, is he returns to what he was this season, which was not good at all. Even if he wants to change, will he get the chance during rehab?

I don’t know if you’ve ever rehabbed a knee, stout, but trust me, you have a LOT of time on your hands. There’s only so much working out the knee can do in a day.

How would anyone know if tear is clean without opening the ACL? Is the lying sack of Cardinals PR team driving this narrative and putting unnecessary pressure on QB to blame him if he doesn't return fast ? I don't understand the Cardinals PR teams, they don't seem to care.

Imaging can show the tear during the MRI, even with the swelling, they just can't operate until the swelling goes down. I would imagine Kyler had another MRI recently that showed maybe an even clearer image.

I will defer to your analysis. Does not every reporter says they will not know until they open up?

Yes that's true, not knowing 100% till they open it up. But, there's super advanced MRI equipment now & orthopedic surgeons that are excellent at their jobs can spot a clean tear from a bad tear rather easily. I'm still going with my original analysis, he's had another MRI recently that was even clearer than the initial one.

No. Medicine has come a long way in the last 40 years. You should look into learning about these things called CTScans, MRIs, and x-rays. Fancy stuff dude.

Plus from that pocket not moving he could teach himself to not throw off his back foot lol. Step into the throw.

 

[Minski]

I hope they don’t go for the hamstring repair option as he has hamstring issues already

The newest MRI (I believe 4D) is damn near as good as putting a camera in the knee to have a look see. I underwent one a couple years ago, and it’s pretty incredible

 

[speedy]

Looking at this as pragmatically as possible….

It remains to be seen if kyler comes back anywhere close to the same. I believe it is encouraging news to hear “clean tear,” but kyler is so dependent on his wheels. He has made a lot possible because he is just that little bit quicker than everyone else. Will he loose that?? That’s the question.

Using Tom Brady or Carson Palmer as examples is poor. Very different styles of play.

I got the pun.

How is this communicated to Melissa Stark but not to the HC?

Him and Kyler must really not be talking.

Is it really shocking that the team wouldn't know Murray's plans at the moment? We've already seen it before. If Kliff doesn't know, it's because Murray hasn't even communicated to the team.

Because he’s already back at home in Dallas. This guy.

 

[AZCB34]

Mental reps are great but the playbook isn’t his issue. It is leading, it is executing plays, it is reacting to defenders in live action, it is pocket awareness, it is making accurate throws.

This injury is likely not career threatening but it completely changes his arc, especially if/when Kliff is sent to the wood chipper

Kliff is sent to the wood chipper

I know it’s terrible. When I tore my ACL playing college ball in Boston I flew home to Phoenix for the surgery. What an idiot I was to be surrounded by family during a tough time where family (not an NFL team who have historically never acted in the best interest of any player) could help make medical decisions.

Lots to blame on kyler. This isn’t one.

The new coach will get on a plane to meet him within a few days of hiring.

Someone should ask Kliff this.
