Oklahoma QB John Mateer to Undergo Surgery

[dobre_shunka]

Karma for running an illegal play and getting away with it?

Honestly, I think that's exactly whats about to happen. The injury is on his throwing hand and there's no way you risk permanent injury coming back to soon. He's a Top 10 NFL lock imo.

Not really. Even in a weak year at QB, he's not the top guy. Or really even top 2. Obviously things can change between now and April. But he hasn't been getting a lot of first round buzz.

I hope he's ready to go in Neyland.
I can't take another loss to the " back up QB"

ESPN is saying a month

Sources: OU's Mateer breaks hand, out a month

Sooners quarterback John Mateer will undergo hand surgery for an injury suffered in the first quarter of last week's win over Auburn. Mateer, an early Heisman favorite, is expected to return this season, the school said.

I'd be very surprised if he can play Nov 1st. There's no reason to rush back for that game.

 

[CAVPUT]

Quit with obvious

Guess I can ruminate about our horrible luck with the one or two players we just can't afford to lose? I am, sadly, terribly consistent, no?

 

[WillisWG]

Problem is their O Line is sus and their RBs have yet to show up. Mateer was their entire offense

Yep run game wasn't as good but they were fairly balanced team. 140 rushing attempts and 144 passing attempts With Hawkins in I believe they begin to lean more towards the run.

We play them November 1 so he was joking.

Some people just don't get it

 

[Batman1948]

Screw that easy button crap. I want them at their best and I want UT at their best. How else we gonna know who's better?

News flash---the best team doesn't always win. Too many outside factors can determine the outcome of every game----see Oklahoma and Auburn last week.

 

[IndianaVol]

One hand, I want him back for our game.
That way we can say we beat all the teams at their best.
Also, he'll just be coming back and better chance he has a little rust.

Other hand, I don't because he is a Heisman level QB and those guys tend to win.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

In the age of the playoff I don't. I just want to get to the dance and I don't care how

Same.
I don't care how we get there as long as we don't cheat to do it.

This is virtually the same injury that Tyler bray suffered in the 2011 season. He missed most of the season except the last two games against Vandy and kentucky.

 

[adam.vol]

Dr Finebaum don’t know anything

He’s just telling us what he’s heard..

You mean the one that they consulted with the SEC officials about before the game?

 

[Big Orange Captain]

I'd be very surprised if he can play Nov 1st. There's no reason to rush back for that game.

if OU is in playoff contention you better believe they will rush him back to play us. Our game with them could have huge implications on the playoffs and SEC title chase

QBs are always over-drafted.

Levis says hold
My beer. lol

 

[ScreamingEagleVol]

The last starting quarterback at Oklahoma that got hurt ended up winning a couple of Super Bowls and the replacement went on to win them a natty. Who knows what will happen.

 

[CPA]

Out kick said he hurt it in first quarter of game and played rest of game with it hurt and won, so who knows?

Before the injury I was halfway expecting them to come to Neyland undefeated. I don’t know about that now.

Lollllllllll

 

[Purplehaze26]

Take any win you can get. Leave the testosterone at home.
If he can’t play sorry but that’s football. I’m happy for the win
even if they have to play with their 2nd team!

Adrenaline helps a lot

They might have 3 losses by then. They do get TX and Ole Miss at home at least, but USCjr on the road...man.

 

[YankeeVol]

He’s set to have the surgery in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Dr. Steven Shin will perform the surgery. He’s considered one of the country's leading hand/wrist surgeons. He’s worked on Drew Brees, Steph Curry and Mike Trout.

Per Pete Thamel

Top 10? Didn't realize he was that highly thought of.
