Thread: Dr. Watkins tells Derek Wolfe to stop playing football rest of season

I think Wolfe has too much fight/pride for that. Hopefully he comes back 100% with no lingering effects. If it starts to impact his life after football (more than just being a DE in the NFL will regardless), then I hope be hangs it up. Being a selfish homer, I'd love him in a Bronco uniform for another 5 years, but I get it.

It all sounded good, hope he's good.

Said this bs losing sucks and that the team can't get out of its own way. He's super competitive, says the onside kick didn't piss him off, he actually admired that gase had the nerve to do it, says he loves gase. Says he loves embarrassing olineman and if he gets them, it's the best feeling. He said he's not upset teams are not respecting us, if we don't like it, stop it. Said if you're in a fight, you don't stop hitting the guy and help them up, you get them on the ground and beat them. Pretty intense dude.

Wolfe is bae.

Sincerely, beef

Another void. Great.

It’s not always about you.

Right. I am not the Team

I'm afraid that spine injuries normally don't get better to the point where there's no future problems. We saw that with DeMarcus Ware, forcing his retirement, and we are seeing it with JJ Watt whose brilliant career might be cut short with injury.

I'd say that is very possibly the beginning of the end for Wolfe, just based on the history of other players in the NFL. Just another roster position they need to strengthen before they can compete in the NFL.
