Is DeVito’s success a fluke or sustainable?

[katkavage]

Thank you! I am tired of fans coming up with ridiculous plans to fake injury players to an IR or refuse to active healthy players. Jones will be on the opening day roster period and at worst be PUP to start the season.

ACL recovery is about a year. Best case scenario for Jones is to be on the field sometime in October. And usually back to normal quality usually a year after that. In any case he will be diminished. The Giants need a QB.

Any backup quarterback on this team will get ample opportunities to take reps with the ones. Lucky them.

Who said anything about faking injuries? Jones had surgery like 20 days ago and isn't healthy currently so he would be on either pup or IR depending on when they would designated it... which would leave just Devito on the active roster.

All i was saying is that you don't have to rush Jones back if you have Devito and a Rookie on the active roster. I was replying to Dave and he understood it by his response and yet you added a few assumptions along the way.

Plenty players have made it back from an ACL in under a year. Kyler Murray for instance.

ACL surgery is now a 9 month recovery time,  not 1 year.

Yeah I read 8-10 months. Schoen was clear that some patients rehab faster than others. But it's correct that it's no longer an automatic full year.

Even if Jones is "cleared" in time for week one, based on our recent experiences with Barkley, Martinez etc and their ability to be at the top of their games 9-12 months after the surgery, I'm not sure I see the Giants starting him week one. But we'll see. I have no idea.

Has it been reported that the injury was isolated to just the ACL or was the meniscus or other parts involved. That's going to determine the length of recovery.

They are cleared to play, yes but rarely do they exhibit top form for almost another year. And Jones top form hasn't been very top to start with. He will be back because the Giants want some return on their money. Based on his injury history and mediocre performance they must bring in another QB.

Actually, that's not true.  Modern surgical techniques have changed that paradigm. Brady and Bree's were MVPs the year following their ACL tears.  Cook and Peterson had MVP-type seasons too.  It's no longer 2-year recovery.

Oh if only Danny had a modicum of Brady or Brees talent I'd feel better about his prospects.

Seems like there is so much misinformation on this thread regarding ACL recovery times and return to peak performance.

Thankfully, one needs a medical degree to actually practice medicine. Imagine if anyone with an opinion who thinks he knows what he's talking about despite receiving zero formal training could be a doctor. Pretty scary thought, as we know how many of those types are out there!

Clearly, it was just a gimmick

Why would you want him back at all. He has become difficult to watch
Really Really Bad QB

[Ed Vette]

Crash and Burn. Maybe he should had his mind on Football instead of all the distractions. He clearly lost his mojo.
