The hammer is surgery. Surgeons develop invasive solutions to expand their market. They cut on people for a living. If it works, great, but surgery always involves more risk than a solution that gets to the same place without it. Like this situation. Now maybe this surgery makes the injury heal better than just rest/rehab would - I am not an expert.

Given the state of the Rams they should just shut Cooper down for the year regardless IMHO.

Is the hammer surgery or rest and rehabilitation?

I took it to mean that surgeons always want to shove stuff into you to fix problems.

Exactly.

When we all know, Kupp should hand his healing situation prayerfully over to the Lord.

This actually not the least bit funny. Really poor taste if you ask me.

Exactly.

Really poor taste? I was thinking/hoping you were joking also.

Thinking god cares about a football ankle injury is a joke.

First, the reply wasn’t to you.

Second, nothing to do with God. I was comparing risky surgery versus rest and rehab. Rest and rehab was mockingly referred to as “leaving it to God”. I guess football players have been recovering from ankle sprains for my entire life - by leaving it to God. Mocking is in poor taste.

I was pretty much joking but i can tell you anytime i go to my doctor and complain about my ankle, wrist, shoulder, whatever, his answer is always rest, rehab, Advil...

If something's broken and possibly won't heal correctly then you need to fix it surgically,,, otherwise rest and rehab. That's always been my line in the sand for the crap I've damaged over the years..

[azramsfan93]

If you visited a surgeon and not your primary care doc you might get different options presented to you. Just sayin’

That's all great. Me too, but NFL players are making millions of dollars to be on the field not to be resting. That's the difference.

Plus let's not forget Kupp's experience is his knee was better after ACL surgery than it was before the injury...

Well there's that...
