Will Cushing Ever Return to Form?

Thomas Davis tore his acl three times in three years. And he has managed to come back and be a very good player. Just one example though. Cushing will do everything he can to get back to being a good player. That's all we can really ask for at this point. We'll see.

 

Demeco had a torn achilles tendon.

 

Seeing how he looked, and how he was "hurting" the defense, it is not a bad thing to have Dent/Mo in there instead of him.

The only way he's valuable is if he's back to being his speedy/powerful self... and odds are, that's not going to be the case for this year.

 

I was pretty sure he wouldn't look like his old self this year, but was surprised he was as slow/tentative as he's looked. 2-years to get back to "normal" from major knee surgery is pretty standard.

I miss the old Cushing. Dude was so fun to watch.

 

I voted yes simply on the strength of Cushing's tenacity.
There is a player on either Saints or Panthers who has returned from 3 knee surgeries and is performing at a high level so it is possible.

 

The odds are against him... no matter how much time you give him.

Maybe if he was playing a non-contact sport like baseball or basketball... but he doesn't. His shelf-life was already on a clock as is.

 

Yep, but he doesn't even look like 75% of the player he was. Will be interesting what they do with him in the offseason, contract-wise.

 

I used to called him Damage INC., now I just call him Damaged…..

 

I think he will return to form, next year, look at Gronk, he has more knee surgeries than Cushing, and it took him, like 10 games last year to be back not 100%, then he injured again, and now after 8 games (maybe 6 games), he is back to his old shape.
