You got it buddy! At least you're beyond Rich and you have zero to be worried about. Could you imagine worrying about if you had no ride home/rehab and back or no home to go home to? And having to cut your groceries to pay for medical bills not being able to afford rehab and meds

It’s directly related to the coach! It was a designed QB run up the middle if you had stayed in the pocket and thrown the ball YOU @treylance09 would not have a broken ankle

What is next for the QB?
Being injured, Lance can possibly miss the entire season. The team will have to find out a new man to replace him. Meanwhile, he can take a cue from the past. NFL titans like Tom Brady missed the game in the past. In 2008, TB12 suffered from ACL and sat out for a long period.
