He's still recovering from shoulder surgery. I think what concerns people is not that he missed a bunch of games in a given year -- that can happen to anyone. It's that that he missed games due to three distinct injuries in one year. But I'm not sure what the point is of arguing about it. We all want him to be healthy. If he plays all year, we're all happy. If he's banged up again, we all lose.
Which is why he was put out of regular practices. Drs being careful with his rehab, dont want a set back. FO sees it the same way. Get him out to a side field to rehab like any other player coming off of surgery and free a spot for some camp fodder. Oh, and watch fans fall over each other predicting a career full of injuries and him being cut at year end. You really cant make this up. Really, Maye isnt getting cut or moved folks, hes a player that makes us better. Never seen a fanbase that turns on its players so quickly and looks to move them for a lesser player
Lets assume the Jets knew about Crowder but took a chance on him anyway in 2019. If Crowder re-injures himself again in 2020, don't you think its the responsibility of the FO and CS to ask questions and have doubts about durability? Of course it is. BTW, Mac is gone so no threads will be made. Doesn't change anything in Maye's case as he was drafted by the prior regime. If they find another safety that can both play and stay healthy, do you really think they'll sit this guy out of some loyalty to Maye? They don't owe Maye anything other than the chance to compete for a roster spot.
They owe him what's left on his contract. They already paid his signing bonus. He's a really good player. It would be kind of fan like to dump him just because they didn't draft him. He's theirmsecond best safety and has experience. Why would they get rid of him, what does that do for anyone. Has to make sense and would be a move that made little if any sense.
He may have been a good player, but the questions again is... is he STILL a really good player? Being the 2nd best safety on a team that only has one good safety and a bunch of joes isn't exactly something to brag about. He's gonna have to prove that his skills haven't diminished and his level of play is what it was pre-injury. Its like that with any player that gets hurt and misses time. There's always gonna be questions until he proves either he's still the same player or not. I'm pretty sure his contract won't bankrupt the Jets but common sense says they won't eat it if they don't have to. If he can still play and stay on the field, his roster spot is assured. The question still has to be answered and there's only one way to do that... Maye has to play and show everyone, including opposing OC's who will test him.
My concern with Maye isn't that he's been banged up. It's football. And injuries happen. My concern is his age. He's 26.
Not being sarcastic whatsoever. He's a 3rd year player who's already 26 years of age. I personally don't believe he's "injury prone" and yes I love his style of play when on the field he compliments Adams very well; my only concern is that he's not a young 3rd year kid, he's 26 and my concern is that he can't afford anymore future injuries in regards to his progression being off the field could be stunting his growth before having a chance to reach his max untapped potential. I really hope he recovers and returns to form. No need to rush him throughout training camp or preseason.
What do we really know about the current status? Have they masked or downplayed the recovery timeframe, chose to remain silent or worst did he have a major set back? I think we might not know what the hell is really going on, but it doesn't seem promising.
Hes going into his 3rd, THIRD season. Not his 13th. What would have changed in his play? Other than he hasnt reached his peak yet? Yes, hes the 2nd best S on the team. And hes not all that far off from the top guy. He wasnt a weak spot next to Adams, I dont care who's third. He had a shoulder, as long as its not a chronic injury there is nothing in it that should affect his play. Again, we're talking football players, they all wind up hurt at some time or another. There not like a BIC and tossed away. And sure they can eat the deal remaining but there isnt a chance they want to. Why would they? They cut a Pro Bowl K and KR guy to save how much $$? Look, nobody knows what will happen next year for sure. But I think he would have to be incapacitated to be released. No one is moving a guy with his talent, on his rookie deal, who had the type of season he had in year one because he injured a shoulder in year two, even if the rehab goes slow and he missed a week or so at the beginning of this season. I just dont see it happening and this is a way to pass our time. No big deal, these are opinions
Overreact much? Now it seems Maye has nerve damage. Who knows how long that will take to heal. The guy is injury prone. Just accept it.
The fact that Maye has nerve damage works against your claim that he’s injury prone, not for it It’s not a new injury that’s been keeping him out. It’s the continuation of a one-time, freak injury. If a guy is repeatedly missing time with soft tissue pulls (hamstrings, calves, etc) you can say he’s injury prone. Not when a guy is slow to recover from a nerve injury...
The guy has had numerous one time injuries. If they were all in the same spot, for instance his shoulder, he’d have an injury prone shoulder. If the injuries are all over the place, the guy is just injury prone. From his college career to now, he can be labeled injury prone. Regardless of whether or not you agree, the guy still isn’t playing, and if he misses a full season or even most of it, he might not be worth keeping around.
Nerve issues in his shoulder now. Weird, but it couldn’t be that he is susceptible to injury AKA Injury prone. I really had great hope for Maye, but he legitimately could be facing the end of the line. If he can’t get/stay healthy this season, they should move on.
Talk about overacting? Did up a post and ask as if any of us should or would know? And as if you know a thing about the nerve issue? How many injuries can you make one injury into? Was he injured again or did they just tell us more on the same injury?
Are you serious with this shit? I’m not going over Mays injuries for your benefit. You can look them up yourself. Nobody but the Jets know the extent of Mayes nerve damage and I never claimed otherwise. I can’t stand when people make things up so I’m done with you.
Pretty sure I heard Gase say during one of his pressers that the nerve issue is from the shoulder surgery he had at the end of last season. It's pretty common tp have nerve issues after surgery, I had something similar when I had my ankle reconstructed. If you're looking for a Pro comparison, the Cowboys LB Jaylon Smith had something similar in his knee. https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/da...-leg-regenerating-helped-playoffs-elite-level
JD should be right now all over Ronnie Lott’s agent, guys seem to come out of retirement to play for him.
