TheFalcoholic Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Officially out now. I hate it for him. Great football player that may never see a big pay day beyond his rookie contract.

BCEagleATLFalcon Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 It BROKE my heart watching him cry on the field yesterday. I have a friend who tore her Achilles and said she actually wasn't in much pain when it first happened (just a "disconnected" feeling). Not sure if that's true for everyone, but if it is, have to think that most of that emotion was recognizing another season is over after everything he did to fight back. And I will never give Quinn a pass for not RAGING against that unsportsmanlike call. Yes, throwing down a helmet gets the penalty, by the letter of the law. I don't care. You FIGHT that penalty for your player. He didn't throw his helmet at anyone, he didn't throw it because he made a bad play. He threw it because he was in physical and/or emotional agony and he's human. Whether the refs pull it back or not, you fight it. Inexcusable.

Falcanuck Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yeah, while I will miss Keke on the field as the player he is, it was even harder to watch that knowing he is a very humble, nice human off of the field. I hope the Falcons take care of this kid come contract time despite these injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, something similar happen to the Braves when Charlie Culberson was hit in the face with a pitch and the ump called it a strike for an attempt to swing at it. Brian Snitker came out like a raging bull and defended his player. Snitker gets much respect from me for that. falconsrus, rogueleadersf, KRUNKuno and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severe injuries don't care how old you are. I had to give up all sports because of a blown knee when I was 18. My world was crushed. I'm praying for him to fully recover.

Boise Falcon Fan Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 That's really bad luck for him. Hope he gets back to health, but I agree, it probably won't be as a Falcon. Team needs to move on, because he's most likely damaged goods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
