LOL WUT
Listen, dislocation and a break, I don’t care what you tape it to, what you do to it, it hurts. Nonetheless, you play.
You def haven’t played QB. I’m not even sure you played competitive football they way you are so cavalier about how something works for a finger, but obviously wouldn’t work for a thumb.
No matter what, any pressure on a dislocated joint is going to cause pain. But you play through it, damn it. Especially if you want to go to the national championship game. Ronnie Lott cut his fuckin’ finger off, White could have played with a dislocated thumb.
