AR to miss minicamp with injury to AC Joint in Throwing Shoulder

[albany ed]

Aside from the QB position, I think the Colts remaining 54 are better than the other 3 AFC South teams. Would you agree? disagree?

That's funny, I just heard an analyst two days ago phrase it similarly. Basically saying the Colts have one of the better 2-through-53 rosters in the league, but never have a QB.

The holes we have are depth spots at a couple of positions, which is not what fans of most teams think of when they talk about "holes."

Isn't much being made of nothing here?
What I've seen is that he's got soreness, which also happened last year around this time didn't it?
It is likely just a lingering side effect of structural changes to his shoulder after Aaron Donald crushed it.

At most he probably needs rest and will be at 100% soon enough.

He most likely also needs someone to manage his off season throwing and workout routine to both keep his shoulder in shape to minimize these sprains when the intensity picks up, but also to minimize fatigue and wear & tear.

He probably wasn't doing much until a couple of months ago when the Colts signed Jones. Then, he started throwing a lot when he realized he was in a competition for the starting role. I agree he needs someone to manage his off season workouts. He's a natural talent and doesn't seem to have a clue on how to train.

I don't know it, that's why I said "probably". What I do know is that if your arm was not very active for a few months and then suddenly you started throwing like crazy, you're going to get sore and achy.

I like listening to PFT, with Mike Florio and Chris Simms. SImms is one the best analysts and talent evaluators out there when it comes to offensive skill position players.

Simms believes that AR will always have shoulder troubles, because his throwing motion is so violent and AR only relies on his arm and doesn't use his whole body to create the torque in his throws. I believe this to be true, because all of the best throwers of the football, who listed a long time would use their entire body to make the majority of throws.

As I have said before, move the kid to TE, and see if he really wants it.

That could be the case ...... somewhat similar to a pitcher in baseball having UCL surgery, and then having his throwing/pitching carefully monitored for a year or 2 after coming back from the surgery.

Either way, we'll find out soon enough.

Oh fuck. Yeah, he's done . Hope Jones is up for a Darnoldesque turn around.
