Den, don’t miss the delicious best part of this Italian spazzing. The Niners passed over local boy Tommy Brady, and picked this bust Carmazzi who never played a down in a regular season game.
He was the 2nd QB taken in the draft behind Chad Pennington!

No need to panic. An epidural, 2 weeks of flexiril combined with the physical therapy he has access to and most importantly spinal decompression and Stafford will be fine. If he isnt participating by the week following the last preseason game then maybe its something to worry about. He's young and in good shape, once the games start adrenaline and muscle memory take over.

What is this salty discharge? @Merlin
...well, there you have it. Lot's of emotion here, at Rams on Demand, as it appears John Matthew Stafford will be back under center next week. Back to you, Chet"

So how long does Stafford have to be sidelined before Garapolo gets the nod to start game one? Surely he needs several days of practice before he can start.

i hope the training staff has the problem under control...

i have worked construction for going on 50 years, and my back was a mess through my 20's and 30's...

i had to change the way i worked (framer/ carpenter/ concrete etc) if i do a lot of bending down without bending my knees, my back will stiffen up in no time... and sciatica pain will come on... not to mention the inevitable pinched nerve..

i just deal with it, and avoid the bending over as much as possible, and i go home feeling fine...

i can't say what matthew's issue is, but i would bet his flare-up is caused by some repetitive motion he needs to curtail, if possible...

here's to a speedy recovery...

yyup..me to...have a monthly plan with a chiropractor that helps tremendously.. but also learned to carry a small ice pack in my back pocket to help with the sciatic nerve pain
