devilwoman Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Anyone concerned with Staffords elbow issues? Even after a clean up procedure it seems of concern....should people steer away from him and how would this elbow issue impact Cupps season? Will he need Tommy John surgery??? https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/rams-qb-matthew-stafford-experiencing-abnormal-elbow-pain https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/08/04/report-matthew-stafford-deadling-with-bad-elbow-tendinitis/ https://www.latimes.com/sports/rams/story/2022-08-04/rams-matthew-stafford-tendonitis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) It's definitely something to be concerned about, especially at his age. Dead arm syndrome is real Edited August 5, 2022 by League_Champion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded like pretty much the same info in stories put out 24 hours earlier (that were linked here already), that he has an elbow issue, maybe its tendinitis, and he won't practice much for the time being. The standard click bait headline makes it sound like he is out for the season or something. (no I'm not attacking you or the news itself, just curious what was news worthy and in the update) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still taking part in many drills, so doesn't sound like there's much concern. I'm watching this closely, though, since I do own Kupp in several formats. The next 7-10 days will be telling.

League_Champion Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Darin AKA Karen just needs his tampon changed. Here's an update info on Stafford. https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10044465-nfl-training-camp-buzz-roundup-matthew-staffords-elbow-becoming-concern-for-rams.amp.html Edited August 5, 2022 by League_Champion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilwoman Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 If his elbow is even slightly bothering him now....he is going to have a long season trying to keep that thing healthy. Even if it is just tendenitis....once irritated, tendonitis can be a real issue especially with the repetitiveness of the throwning motion...doesn't look good....just my opinion.

League_Champion Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Despite the risk I'm out on Stafford regardless. I think he's been going way too high in early drafts. I'd rather wait and grab a QB later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this would be the problem for me and the fact that they're being cagey about it is not increasing my confidence, for now. Passing on Stafford as a QB is the easy part. The problem is what, if anything, are you going to do about Kupp and ARob? That's some potentially very high draft capital talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 What if Stafford or Kupp/Arob are a projected keeper or dynasty player? Are people just going to toss them out and have a better option. I suppose if you need to make a decision soon this is reason for concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
