Yeah, I'm not going to sit here and get into an argument with the "Pft...look at the CP doctors" crowd.

If anyone has ever had a back issue or spoken with back surgeons, they know that this isn't bullshit. My ortho worked for the US Olympic team and does a lot of Mizzou's stuff - the guy knows his shit and I'm pretty comfortable with the information I have from him.

This isn't something he's going to just shake off - the mechanics of the human body won't allow it. And maybe he'll be able to play through/around it. He may even get back to performing at similar levels. He was so good to begin with, even a diminished Poe will still be a top level starter.

But a lot of people are whistling past the graveyard here. "Oh, well this could just keep him fresh...it's probably a good thing"

I'd have rather he blown out his knee.
