Did I hear Mike O'Shea's comments correctly

As in what do players normally do when it's 2 thirds done the season and they just got a season ender. I could see some just going home, assuming that's allowed without retiring.

I may be wrong, that's why I asked

I believe it's up to the player whether he wants to go home or not, the team can't force him to stay.  It will be interesting to see what Schoen decides to do, his rehab may not even begin for months after the operation, so he wouldn't have much he could do.

Lol.  Same response to every post, right?

I don't remember, did DS have surgery last time?

Depending on the tear, they can be rehabbed without surgical repair, but if he keeps injuring it, I guess he will get surgery and fix it for good.

ACL tear healing without surgery for a high level athlete still competing. Not sure about that....but ok.  Google can be your friend.

Poor roster management.

There's just tons of cases of it happening every year and you made it seem like it's something that has never happened.

He'll either have his surgery and rehab with the team being a coach on the sidelines. Or he'll opt out and do his rehab at home.

I imagine he'll stick around.

This situation is truly sad and my hearts breaks for Dalton. He gave everything he had, worked hard on his rehab, only to have this happen again. You could visibly see him wincing in pain in every play the Calgary and Sask games.

Totally disappointed we didn't keep him out until he was fully recovered and hold him out even a week later than we thought he was ready, but alas, hind sight.

He's out for a long time now and likely his career is over.

He will be back but will never be the same player he was early
His price will be half next time and worth it imo
Tough spot, too bad we couldn't find a way to avoid this

No one knows if he will be back its more correct to say I think ( and hope ) he will be back.
I personally can't think of an NFL or CFL player that has injured their ACL 2 years in a row and played the next year or continued to play Football.
In the NFL 21 year old Rookie Johnathan Brooks injured his ACL in 2023 ( College ) and 2024 ( NFL non-contact ) and will miss the entire 2025.

Just my gut tells me he can come back, loads of hope required on this one, young enough to try

It was amazing Schoen came back so soon.  I said in an earlier post two years ago he looked twenty pounds heavier from his NFL try out. He also looked really slow. Then we all know he tore up his knee(s) and I don't think is recovery was anywhere near real. Then he got hurt, on a poor pass, was that from Zach? And then Zach is gone.  Who is next?

I don't think Strev is the answer, nor. Our third string guy.  Maybe he is. 

Who might we beg to give us a QB?

[Blueforlife]

Too early to assume we need a QB.  A Strev and Wilson mix might be way to try it if so.  I think we could do a thread to propose and rank replacement QB ideas if Zach is hurt long term, which I don't believe is the case

He will be 29 next year that is not young in Football that is much closer to the end than the beginning.

If Zach isn't able to play at this point I would try Wilson because we know what we are getting with Strev I love his effort but that isn't enough.

Not wrong
Not old enough to give up imo
Modern medicine, patience, perseverance and a little luck are a powerful combo.  Strev fought against the odds and won.

But will the Bombers want to be the Team that takes that chance ?

Someone will bite at the right price imo, I would
Many clubs would move on, others would roll the dice at the right price imo

He'll probably be on the sidelines for home games. His medical requirements will be handled the same as any other player unless he has a preferred specialist in the USA.

Schoen was on the sidelines today.
