And where was the part where it said the Doctor would not recommend it or allow it? He's pretty much practicing without any restrictions right now... at this point, its about building up stamina, getting his timing back, and familiarizing with the defensive gameplans.

Absolutely, anyone that takes a full 9 months to bounce back from microfracture surgery has to be lazy. Solid take.
Let's just say "he called it" and Rick knows it. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on...-exec-calls-jadeveon-clowney-spoiled-and-lazy I would say we're still waiting and will continue to wait. He might even get that Bryant (pgh) treatment.
Of course he got injured. I've already said enough. I'll let you guys fiddle about and until someone around here faces reality. He's a cool brother but just wasn't the one. JJ is the one and clowney can't handle that.
Doubling down on that really stupid statement isn't wise. If he was lazy and didn't have a strong work ethic, he wouldn't be recovered from one of the toughest surgeries to bounce back from already. The "bad worth ethic" talk was stupid in the draft and it's about a million times more so now.
If dude was recovered he would've played a snap in preseason. Don't fall for the hype or the bull**** BOB is pushing.
Oh no! Does that mean JJ Watt, JJo, and Vince Wilfork are hurt too!!!!!! ZOMG! Seriously man, just give it up. No one is buying that BS anymore.
No point in playing him in the preseason. None at all. So far, for you knowing his circle, you've posted nothing to support your lady theory, except for a widely circulated article dogging on his work ethic, that for all we know, could have been put out there by a team like the Falcons, who were hoping he'd fall. I'll take a nine month recovery and multiple teammate and coach quotes saying about how hard he's worked over that crap.
BOB isnt someone to be effusive with praise if he thinks a guy has been winging it... He really believe that Clowney has worked hard...So has Vrabel. Ill take Vrabel's and Bill's opinion of Clowney over anyone on this board. If they said he will be ready for game 1...He will be.
