Deshaun Watson's ACL recovery: How other QBs have fared after surgery

Tom Brady and Carson Palmer returned after ACL tears and were just as strong, but others in the same situation as Deshaun Watson haven't been as lucky.

That's too bad for KM. I hope he is one of the "quick" healers and returnees from this injury.

There's a vidya game joke to be made here somewhere.

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

Even 8 months gets him back at practice in August. That’s relatively good news.

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?

Methinks he has plenty of time to concentrate and focus on the mental aspect which is the playbook and going over opposing defensive formations. Provided he heals, which I believe he will, his physical attributes are not what is holding him back right now. Now overcoming the fear of not stepping up in the pocket after the injury can only be accomplished while playing

 

[Cardinal88]

I'm going to agree... this gives him plenty of time to study the playbook. It would be awesome if he was studing with Sean Payton and someone like Carson Palmer (I'd say Kurt Warner but not sure he would work with the guy who may have been involved in bounty gate). Sean as the new HC and Carson as the QB Coach or minimum - QB Consultant.

To be fair.. I believe Raps take was near immediately after K1s knee was officially a ACL tear… Scheftys was today after the swelling has gone done and the doctors obviously had more time to scan to see how severe and of anything else was torn.

I’m hearing it’s as clean a tear as he could have experienced. Other ligament damage is insignificant. Essentially it’s up to Murray as to how fast he recovers. The more pain he can tolerate the faster he can advance stages.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Maybe this will end up being a good thing. He can rest and study while the Cards try to get their management and coaching personnel in order. I know, like that has much of a chance of ever happening.

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.
