Danny Wuerffel Diagnosed With Guillain-Barré Syndrome

This is really sad. He retired from the NFL in 2002. He has 3 small children. No one knows what to expect for a while.

That sucks, but there is a silver lining. It's something he will (or at least should) recover from.

Most people with Guillain-Barré reach their weakest point within two to four weeks after symptoms first appear. In severe cases, the disorder can attack the nerves that control breathing muscles, such that patients need artificial ventilators and feeding tubes to survive, Caress said.
Wuerffel is not completely paralyzed, but has been advised by his doctors to stay immobile during his recovery, his wife said. But it's unclear how long that recovery will take.

Vibes to him. Wasn't he one of the oldest QB's that FSU had?

Edit..ah...Florida..he was a Hurricane. I'm thinking of some old fuddy duddy that played for Bowden, but the name escapes me.

Dang Chris,, you are all messed up today! You are thinking of Chris Weinke from FSU. Danny Wuerffel played for the Florida Gators

On a serious note, very sad news and I wish him the best in recovery.

Oh, wow. He was quite an athlete. That is something sad.
I'm pulling for him to overcome.

LOL...Sigh...the dude played somewhere down south for a college where they go to class wearing bikinis.
And yes...Weinke was the fuddy duddy I was thinking of.
