Good news, Raider Nation — broken leg expert Joe Theismann says he’s 100% confident Derek Carr can rebound from his fractured fibula … he knows from experience.
We got the Super Bowl champ out in NYC earlier Tuesday where he told us he was brokenhearted for the Raiders QB … and knows firsthand what it’s like to recover from that same exact injury.
Yeah, turns out Thiesmann broke his leg more than a decade BEFORE that infamous run in with Lawrence Taylor in 1985 (that gruesome compound fracture on MNF) … the one that ended his career.
Theismann says he broke his fibula in 1972 while he was in the Canadian Football League — but recovered and went on to have a pretty solid career with the Washington Redskins.
As for the Raiders, Joe says he’s a fan … and explains why they might not be as dead in the playoffs as everyone thinks they are.
