LKEEL75 1,179 Report post Posted October 5 link Quote Jarrett Stidham won't have one of his favorite targets in the Auburn passing game for the rest of the season. Senior wide receiver Will Hastings underwent surgery Thursday and will miss the rest of the year and redshirt, sources told AL.com. Hastings, who got back in less than six months from the ACL injury he suffered in March, suffered a setback with the knee in mid-September. He hadn't played since getting six snaps during the Tigers' loss to LSU Sept. 15. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linayus 505 Report post Posted October 5 Sucks, but I'm glad to have him another year (if he stays). This gives him plenty of time to recover and build up the strength and confidence again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drsteve87 24 Report post Posted October 5 If I recall correctly, Jerry Rice did the same thing with the 49ers. Blew out his knee, came back too soon, blew out the recently reconstructed knee early in the season. Then he sat out the entire year got proper rehab and had another all pro year. Even with all of the medical advancements - nothing speeds up regrowth of ligamentous tissue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alexava 2,951 Report post Posted October 5 I predicted he would miss the entire season this spring. I wish I was still wrong. I hope Eli doesn’t go back into rehab/ surgery too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AUBwins 2,111 Report post Posted October 5 Will had a pretty rough collision the one play we threw to him on. Heck Stove did as well. Wonder if that was the setback. Hope Stove can recover as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently the coach who doesn't know how to evaluate QB talent too well and never really makes his QBs better when they leave than when they got here thinks he is the most polished QB on the roster not named Stidham. Also apparently they expect him to waltz in and start as a true freshman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It even has the average Auburn fan's reaction. Don't ask me how I got this, I know people. Edited October 6 by thrustmaxwell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alexava 2,951 Report post Posted October 6 I think Will was assuming JS will not return next year and pushed his recovery to finish his career without breaking in a new qb. I thought it was too soon. I don't blame coaches. I blame Dr.s and Will's family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hastings is one of Gus’s “Inner Circle” favorites, coming from his Arkansas buddy Kevin Kelly’s private school program. If you’re unaware by now, Gus plays favorites, calls/designs plays specifically to go to those favorites, and is detrimental to the success of Auburn’s program because he’d rather play his FAVORITES, instead of building his offense around his most talented guys. Thank God NCM got away from our dumBster fire. He deserves better and will now have a chance at an NFL career. 1 1 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
