A broken thumb doesn't make a difference? How does that work? Is he trying to insult himself by saying he would suck with a working thumb?

If he can't get the ball to the flat on a screen play, he should take a seat.

He does this every time he's injured. Blows it off as nothing during season. Then casually during the off-season will say how no one knew how bad it was.

He’s not making any excuses but somehow everyone still bitches about it.

It’s a lose-lose for him.

The kicker maybe but the QB kind of needs a functioning hand and collar bone to be effective. Maybe this is a consequence of dealing with the shadow of Favre who also played a season with a messed up thumb.

It's all about the optics and no he hasn't made it an excuse and actually was saying nothing was wrong with it. The main question I have is has he been on the last injury report every week since the Giants game and if not is that a violation seeing they knew he had a broken thumb? BY putting him on the IR then they will bring him back next year because he was ummmm injured, yes I know hes under contract, just thinking out loud

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
