"I’ve been very critical of myself watching film as far as really looking at if the hand’s an issue. I can definitely say that it’s coming along tremendously."

It's absolutely amazing to me that a guy who had surgery as long ago as Matthews did can say his hand isn't quite ready but it will be...SOON? Huh? The guy has had MONTHS to get it healthy and it's still not there, but in a few days/weeks it will be? Boy, those few weeks of TC must have magical healing powers.

We know that isn't true as TC seems to be kryptonite for our overall well being.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

His hand probably wont be 100% for the rest of his life let alone after some months.

I think it may be just caution. A guy doing a "regular" job would probably be considered 100%. But to an NFL linebacker who needs to be able to throw off 300 plus pound guys and chase QB's all over, it probably takes a lot more to make certain it's healed.
I'm still worried it will get reinjured and he will be lost permanently.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
