I agree. These sorts of injuries can affect you for a very long time after you’ve healed enough to become comfortably functional. Our admin Tony once wrote following on the subject of Cam’s shoulder injury.
“Thanks to [redacted] for the update on Cam’s injury. Sounds like a torn labrum and bicep. I have personal experience in that department. I had a torn labrum, torn bicep, and torn rotator cuff. I had surgery on Feb 14, 2019. They cut off the end of the torn bicep and stretched it, reattaching it with a screw. 4 other screws in the rotator/labrum. It took me a year and a half to get to the point where I could attempt to swing a golf club. As of today I’m fully recovered and pain free, but I still can’t throw anything. I can’t get my arm back into the throwing position. There is a slight difference between an old dude and a college athlete so I’m sure he’ll recover faster than I did. But there’s some perspective for you.”
Cam went and turned it around the next season in a gutsy but losing effort against SDSU. And he was definitely not 100%, he made it in because Brewer was an unmitigated disaster. That turnaround was already irresponsibly fast and this time he has two fewer months to make it happen. But the prevailing narrative on this board is that you can sustain an ACL injury in January and be ready to roll in a D1 football game in September. Maybe. But I have my doubts.
