Could McNabb be 100% in 2 weeks?

If Burkholder knew about this and was planning on using it, he would have done it before the bye week eh?

Sure, talk all reasonable about it why don't you?

Agreed, so I'm left to think one of three things:
1) Burkholder didn't know about it
2) Some arrogant US doctor poo-pooed it because of "not invented here" syndrome
3) There are legitimate concerns about the technique, and DPO decided to ignore them / not address them in her article.

I'm guessing the iceholes at the beginning of this thread are assuming #3, but I'm guessing #1 with a small chance of #2.

The thing is, this has been done on "soccer players", who in the article are said to be "Europe's NFL." Repeat after me---Soccer IS NOT THE SAME AS THE NFL. Soccer is a 90 minute game running up and down the field. Yeah, you twist your body certain ways, but you don't get hit full on and take a punding for those 90 minutes. That's one reson I for one wouldn't think this surgery would work on NFL players, especially on a QB.

Though many of Muschaweck's patients play professional soccer - it is, after all, Europe's version of the NFL - she says it doesn't matter what sport her patient plays because sports hernias affect motion. Contact doesn't alter the injury.

If his doc told him it was OK, he'd do it.

Frankly, I'd sooner put my fate in the hands of a German doctor than a US doctor.  In my experience (and it is my business), Germans are much more conservative than Americans on technical matters.

McNabb would do whatever his doctors tell him to do, I'm sure.  Since when does he have an opinion of his own?  Someone said it here recently, and I agree: the guy is milquetoast.

McNabb would rather let the team and us suffer just like him.  Go to GERMANY you basterd!

I've never heard of this surgery, and I follow soccer.  No reason to think Burkholder had heard about it either.  If we're going to do it, now's the time--we have 2 out-of-conference games in a row coming up.

no reason to think that a trainer for a professional football team wouldn't be up on all new techniques and proceedures?

Doctors are stupid algorhythm whores.  They don't learn about anything unless a sales rep talks about it for 30 min at their 3 day vacation in Cozumel.
