Normally my wit is without end...

but this pic has me speachless. All I can picture in my mind is OGB (‘Ol Grey Beard) being carried from play to play by his lineman like Byron Leftwich at Marshal. Just think, with those crutches, he’d have the longest stiff arm in the game. If we got him a wheelchair, could he just stay in shotgun and throw to the backs on every play? He would have to check down because he wouldn’t be able to see over the line. Would the NFL mandate the field be wheelchair accessible? O.K. not totally speechless.

Also,

your spelling improved between the first and second iteration of “speechless”.

Question....

did the FO know that Kurt was going to get hip surgery before they signed him to the extension?

Gotta figure the Niners knew...

Yea, Urban did say that they knew

and went on to say that they knew he needed it during the season so I don’t think it was any surprise.

Hmmm....

so then, why the heck didn’t they use it as contract leverage?

maybe they did

or maybe the leverage was, “take less or release these pictures to the press” and here we are.

True.

I guess we don’t really know what went on in negotiations.

Geez

This pic doesn’t help his case. LOL. It was a minor surgery so I’d expect him to be fine by training camp.

according to Urban again

Kurt fully expects to be 100% “long before” camp and is actually shooting for the first OTA’s right after the draft in early May. So I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.

Still though, I imagine he’s getting an awful lot of jokes from the the guys on the team.
