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.

If he said it was effecting him then everyone would be bitching about how he’s making excuses. 

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

It’s a lose-lose for him.

I love bitching as much as the next guy but is there really someone that would say a broken thumb is an excuse for the QB? 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)
