Time to lose the knee brace,Mark..
Why does mark still wear the knee brace?...Serious question, does anyone here know why he still wears it...I remember his rookie year he hurt it and we went in to the "slide" mode..But has there been recent damage to the knee?..If not he needs to get rid of it and start using his legs...

Agreed, if he takes off the knee brace tomorrow I see the season being turned around. Rex/Tanny jobs are safe. JI community backs up from the cliff and decides to line up for some PSLs.
Right. |

I'm pretty sure he wears it for additional stability of the knee that he had repaired a couple of years ago. It was a subluxation suffered originally in college, not that unusual to wear stabilization braces to prevent it from occurring again.

bad knee = weak knee = knee brace for stability and injury protection. No
big deal. Lots of players wear knee braces. Last edited by SONNY WERBLIN; 11-17-2012 at 03:29 PM. |

He started wearing it in college.
I think the one he wears now is much bulkier. I guess his knee has gotten worse with age. He also injured it during his rookie season which cost him a game. Some OL wear them even if they don't need them. They add stability and prevent lateral movement of the joints/tendons. Last edited by DDNYjets; 11-17-2012 at 03:33 PM. |

The old USFL required all offensive lineman to wear knee braces. It is just an extra layer of protection.

Mark had a patella dislocation.. sometimes that's a freak injury, other times it can be due to genetics (I've also had the injury and it's probability is higher for me due to the mechanics of my knee). A knee brace doesn't do anything to hinder play.

Okay just stop it.
Whether Mark wears a Knee Brace or not is not the reason for his crappy QB-play this year. Nice thread. |

My college required all lineman to wear knee braces...Syracuse. Don't know if they still do but they did during the Macpherson/Pasqualoni era.
