Kragthorpe stepping down (health issues)

aint that the truth. you just never know. seems the drs say staying active is the best way to control it so im hoping he can slow this crap down as much as possible to live somewhat normally.

sounds like he has a good family to lean on which he will definitely need. Best thing is hes not one of these feel sorry for yourself dudes so he will make the best of it. thats all you can do i suppose.

the jordan jefferson comment tells you all you need to know about who he is.

he must like even numbers.

 

Looks like Miles made a CHOICE:thumb: selection.

 

My Aunt died of ALS (Lou Gherigs disease), she was 56. A picture of health. My good friends brother has it. Prayers to all.

 

what the hell are you talking about. i think krags is the one wanting to stay and maintain his normal life best he can. who said otherwise.

 

I think that comment was in reference to people asking on this thread about how if Parkinson's is a slow-acting disease, then why would Krag immediately give up OC duties. FWIW I don't think the question was coming from a position of "Suck it up and go out there and do your job!" but out of genuine curiosity of how the disease would have affected Krag's ability to perform as OC. In addition to the physical toll of the symptoms and medication, people mentally and emotionally process that kind of diagnosis in different ways. Personally, I applaud his decision. He could have given up football altogether to completely focus on his health and spend time with his family, and understandably so, but he also apparently felt he had an obligation to help Jefferson and the other QBs become better players.
