Coming from you I'm officially thinking you're right - Stafford should hang up his cleats.... and this has NOTHING to do with Baker last night.
The only thing I knew, (know), about a "spinal contusion" is that it 'sounds' very bad.... whenever the word 'spine' comes in to play my radar goes off BUT... they, (Rams organization), seemed to consider the injury recoverable without dire possibilities if he returns? Hey, I'm ignorant enough about 'spinal contusions' that maybe that makes sense. Then you, an MD, posts this and I'm now thinking - "Thank you Stafford... now head to the nearest bass pond and listen to football games on your smartphone". - JamesJM
