    Anecdotal but how long did Tannehill take hit after hit with no injury?

    Ryan's resilience is special.

    Cutler's just old. But I appreciate that he was willing to suit up and step onto the battlefield one more season for us.

    I hope this isn't his season done. If it is, we're going to need yet another QB.

    I was afraid of that the way he was wincing in pain (which means that his face slightly changed expressions for a millionth of a second). I was hoping for the bruised variety....a cracked rib is bad news for someone Cutler's age.

    A quick look on Web MD shows a cracked rib usually takes 6-8 weeks minimum to heal properly, so I'd think that Cutler is basically done for the year. And that means we need another QB now if Brandon Doughty doesn't seem up to par. I thought he looked pretty darn sharp in pre-season though.

    LOL, is it too early to mention Tebowmania? At least he's in shape...he just finished the baseball season about a month ago. (hopefully everyone knows that I'm kidding)

    Roll with Moore until he gets his injury too. Hopefully that is at least six weeks from now, and maybe you have Brandon Doughty out there for a game before Cutler can play.

    We are on our third QB for the season, which would sink almost any other team in the NFL. The fact we are still hopeful for a winning season and playoffs is remarkable.

    Oh, and go Falcons! I think you choke again, but please prove me wrong and end the football day with a Pats loss!

    I dont think its broken because he didnt fall directly over the rib the fall was broken a bit by the defender under him I think its more probably a bruise or separated rib from the twisting force of the fall. If its a bruised rib it will still take at least two weeks to recover, but it could also be a costochondral seperation of the rib cartilage which can be worse than a cracked rib and takes longer to heal.

    "
    ▪ Jay Cutler does indeed have “multiple cracked ribs,” and while he did not rule Cutler out for Thursday, Gase’s demeanor suggested what most believe (and what colleague Armando Salguero has reported): That Moore, not Cutler, will start in Baltimore.

    “Right now it doesn't look real good,” Gase said of Cutler playing this week. “We're just kind of taking it day to day right now and see where it goes from there."

    ▪ How much can a quarterback play with cracked ribs?
    “It really becomes a pain tolerance thing once you get everything calmed down. It's not an easy injury. It's tough to breathe, let alone throw [and do] what he has to do as a quarterback. That's when, yesterday, just watching him, when he stayed down, I knew it couldn't have been anything good. He's not one to really stay down after getting hit.”"

    What is "5 years", Alex?

    I'll take "Things that suggest Ryan Tannehill is made out of whatever material the Black Box on an airplane is made of" for $500.

    I always hate talking about ow durable a player is because it seems like they always get hurt about 5 minutes later. With that said, RT has taken beastly amounts of abuse and always hopped right up, ready to go. He is special in that regard YET he's out for a 2nd season off the same injury....that's as ironic as it gets.

    I do believe all those hits eventually added up since it was a non-contact knee injury.

    It was not a not contact knee injury. Calais Campbell fell right into his knee.

    I think he was referring to the training camp reinjury of the original injury.

    Hey Cutler. Rest up get better and then head to the booth. Take our money and we'll even get you some Joe's Stone Crabs to go with their delicious mustard sauce. We're good and even if we're not, we're better without you. Bubye!

    It's the same injury that wasn't properly treated. What caused it was Calais Campbell's hit and the dolphin docs not doing their job correctly.
