This all complete speculation. As a long-time lurker, I have to say, I did expect MUCH more from you - usually have well thought out posts that are at least somewhat based in fact.
Like, how do we know the Doc doesn’t advise surgery can wait? How do you know it’s the team and player?
I’m almost certain that there are instances where a medical issue may either potentially or definitely need surgery, but it’s not a timely or urgent matter.
I get that it’s vogue to blame everything on management/coaches/ownership right now, but come on. Let’s stop speculating on internal medical processes, injury severity, and trying to establish causation for untreated injuries ruining careers.
Be better.
