Actually you guys are making opposite points. You're saying his healing time should be longer, and latrobe is saying ribs heal faster

I dislocated my finger and I was able to type on the message board the same day! see how silly you sound?
No need to throw insults, that's not going to make your point stronger...

Point stronger my sack! The rib thing was overplayed so freaking bad! I'm positive they twisted him and popped it back in at the hospital, couple days rest and that's a non-issue! You're right I don't play in the NFL, I don't make millions either but it don't take a rocket scientist to know Ben loves to play up his boo boo's... That's not a knock on him it's just the truth!

fair enough, you're entitled to your opinion, I just disagree.
