Injured Wentz & his replacement

[Buffalo.Rider]

Big enough topic, perhaps should have its own thread.

Now what do we do?

More people need to take my advice. Take a deep breath and eat a delicious Duane's pizza. You'll feel better.

Why are we not having our Bison socials there? The fans could use the help.

I didn't know Stick is 6'2". Here we go!

Stick looked impressive to me in the few plays I saw him play.

Psychologically, not having a 'star' for the quarterback might be good for the Bison as a team. I mentioned this in another thread, but often when there is a star on the team the team migrates towards the star when things are not going well, rather than doubling down as a team and getting the job done. Sometimes coaches, media, other players contribute to the dynamic of migrating to the star and so the team gets in a 'rut' so to speak and can't break out or break out consistently until the star is no longer there. I've seen this happen on track teams, basketball teams, football teams, etc.

I tend to think this was or is one of the major problems of the Kobe Bryant Lakers - with Kobe at the head, fed by his wanting to be the head even if it hurt other players, the Lakers organization fawning on him as well as the media - and the Lakers have been a mediocre playoff team overall.

So I am relatively optimistic the Bison will get it together with Easton Stick - and might very well be more consistent.

p.s. Glad some people are using this thread ... I saw Wentz news in about 5 other threads. And despite the bones in the hand diagram (and commentary) that someone posted, not clear where the fracture (a break or a stress fracture?) is located. Also have not yet seen the play (thought a short video might be posted by now) that caused the break - although Kolpack allegedly tweeted it was the second set of downs (as someone else noted). I would like to read about his progress w/o all the other chatter about Wentz.

I broke one of the bones in my wrist when I was 6 playing King of the Mountain on a pile of snow. Wore a cast for a month but learned how to write with my weak hand out of necessity.

Glad it worked out for you!

And thanks for the timely note you sent me. It should be out of forensics any time now.
