SWEET MOTHER OF GOD DO NOT LET YOURSELF GET SUCKERED INTO WATCHING A REPLAY OF HIS INJURY. I'M NOT KIDDING.
And, literally on the anniversary of Theissman's injury on MNF.

Saw it. He's probably retiring after that.
He was trying to be an actual QB today. Throwing red zone INTs & everything.
Carved out himself a nice career as a game manager. I look at him & Sam Bradford as mirror images of each other
33 years to the day LT snapped Joes leg. Crazy.
Joe T, Gordon Heyward, Paul George.....been some tough ones to see.
I crashed my bicycle this spring, my ankle was shattered, my foot pointed one way and the bone was sticking out, it hurt like hell. After surgery and 2 nights in the hospital and 3 months of bearing no weight I am finally just semi healthy.
Good luck to Alex. Bob Dylan had it right....it's rough out there.
I will have to respectfully decline being the Racial Slurs QB on 11/18/2051

Kid from Louisville basketball.
Good luck to Smith. Tough injury and grusome to sometimes be a football player. But it’s been a good career for Smith, a guy who’s perhaps greatest claim to fame was being drafted ahead of Rodgers.
Anyone remember Napoleon McCallums knee folding backwards like oragami?
I mean. There’s probably been uglier basketball snaps over the years but McCallums leg folding backwards is still the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen on a football field. I can’t even post the video. And I can post any video.
Napoleon's was the worst I've ever seen. McGahee was up there too.
They all are horrendous but those 2 stick out as the worst I've ever seen. Worse than Smith & Theismann but again, they're all really bad
Tim Krumerie. Since I went to college with his brother it affected me more.

Or dinner for that matter. Sorry, pet peeve.
McGahee is right there. Good call.

Exactly what I was thinking. I think I heard he didn't even feel much pain because the nerves were shot. Amazing that McGhee still had a career.

Zach Miller last year. His left knee folded backwards so far it looks greater than 90 degrees the wrong way. Gruesomeness to the max.
Not only did Alex Smith's injury happen 33 years to the day of Joe Theismann's...the final score of both games was 23-21. ...and both injuries took place at the 40 yard line.
There are only 2 people who have gotten defensive player of the year awards 3 times... Care to take a guess who they were?
Yeah.....LT & JJ Watt
Now that is final destination shit
Teddy Bridgewater.
At his age I think that Alex Smith will retire.
That is Final Destination freaky. And watching some of those videos...
My teenage son turned white as a sheet watching the Smith injury.

I might agree on Bridgewater, but there's no video like there is on the others. Any way you look at it, the NFL chews up bodies and spits them out. No one who plays any length of time escapes unscathed.

And Theisman was there at the game.

If you play the video backwards you can see George, John and Ringo burying Paul.

The Bills let Nate Peterman start several games. The Packers let Brett Hundley start multiple games. The Texans let TJ Yates start games last year.
Colin is done in the NFL - to be quite honest he's not that much better (if at all) than any of the guys listed by the Redskins. He hasn't played any football in 2 years. What kind of football shape do you think he's in?
Plus, the NFL already facilitated his ads with Nike so he doesn't have a lawsuit anymore.

Worst injury I've ever seen. Didn't see the Smith injury yet. No plans to go out of my way to see it either.
McCallum's was much worse.
Kevin Ware was still the worst thing I’ve ever seen injury wise.
And should you question this take, google image search Kevin Ware injury and get your vomit bag ready.
This is turning into a weird faces of death franchise, only with injuries.
Just listened to this podcast driving out to Wisconsin for turkey day. I highly recomend it to those that grew up when that movie was making the rounds. I didn't last long watching that movie so I wont be looking up those injuries. Although I do remember seeing many of them live on tv.
