Goodbye to an Era? (W. Jones)

Read this... admittedly my heart sunk:

Mora said he doesn't know for sure if Jones, who has yet to play this season, will play at all in 2009.

The team will back off pushing the 35-year-old Jones through practice this week, because his left knee has pained him during practices in each of the last two weeks. Jones had his second knee surgery in nine months in August. The first one was a microfracture surgery that drilled holes into bone to regenerate cartilage.


It does go on to try to paint a prettier picture... but I'm not sure if I can see it. Microfracture is a troublesome surgery, and the fact that he's trying to come back at his age and in only 9 months is a tough order. I'm hoping we haven't seen big Walt's last game in Seattle... but I can't help but think that's a possibility right now.

I think he needs a full year to recover in all liklihood. In that amount of time it would be hard for him to want to keep it up, and harder for us not to start looking at replacements. For this reason I hope he takes a few weeks and gives it a shot. I am not sold on Locklear as a good alternative at LT.

problem would be we still need a franchise QB and probably RB sooner than later.
