He very well may be there and ready to rip but this recovery is not an ACL. With ACL he was probably on his feet almost immediately and back on the bike in the same amount of time he was non weight bearing with this one. Lot more time to get deconditioned and dig a hole you have to climb out of. Not saying he can't do it, it's just not the same. 

ACL has also been so perfected that it's just not a big deal anymore. The kind of fracture Jett has now still frequently leads to complications, chronic pain, ankle fusion.....

I think Jett will be on the gate.  I don’t think he’ll be 100%.  That may or may not impede his performance.  If it does, I hope he just plays the long game and takes what he can get until he’s fully healthy.

that would be a bad look for both him and the team if he goes out there less than 100% and can't keep pace, or worse, reinjures himself.

He has crashed a lot for a short 450 career thus far compared to the majority of any other guys.

There is a big difference between getting injured and crashing a lot. There are riders who crash way more, he's just not as durable as he looked as in his 250 days, kinda like Herlings who tips over and has a discolated shoulder. Then you have guys like Sexton or Seewer who can fly 100 yards through the air and line up again.

I just read in an old Racer X that at Hangtown 02 RC surpassed 70 combined wins. That was his age 22 season (3rd 450 outdoor year).

Jett is in his age 22 season and his 4th 450 outdoor year, I think he is at 39 combined wins. 

Just shows you how important and hard it is to stay healthy year after year.

We know you're a notorious Jett hater and mostly just ragebaiting, but saying Jett needs to learn how to smooth out is even crazy for you. 😂

I don't know if you've watched Jett ride? Smooth it out? He's the smoothest rider out there.  As for keeping it off the ground. Since he's been on 450s he's barely crashed. There was the time at Hangtown...and well. His ACL was caused by a leg dab not from being out of control. Likewise, his latest injury - by all accounts - was to do with his foot being slightly out of position landing from a jump. 

I think you should look at purchasing some kind of device to watch races on. This would greatly aid your knowledge of motocross and supercross.

Either way he crashed out of racing every year.

Well, if he’s at 50%, everyone else may have a chance. He’ll still win everything.

No I’m talking about the little one that went splat in the whoops last week

He is shorter than Jett for sure. But Jett’s neck is about 30% of that. Leaves him very vulnerable to jiu-jitsu style attacks imo

If you try to knock me, you'll get mocked,
I'll stir fry you in my wok,
Your knees'll start shaking and your fingers pop,
Like a pinch on the neck of Mr. Spock!

Maybe, maybe not.  If doc says you’re good and not going to injure it further, most guys will ride.  Even if they are partially riding their way back in to shape.  (His leg, I guarantee everything else will be in shape). Your championships are often won on your worst days…. Sometimes you salvage the points you can while working back to 100%.

All part of racing…. For a Chip.  And that’s, as I said, if he’s not already good to go.

It’s been said multiple times he’s on a mountain bike. It’s also been said there’s been a setback. Does a setback mean he won’t be back for SX or he won’t be back for Pala? I guess we’ll find out in a “few” weeks.

How many rounds can he miss and still win the title?

Since going 450 he has either crashed out in either sx or mx and out for that season due to injury. But he then wins the other series.

First round of MX is only a few weeks away now.  I don’t know if he’s been back on the bike but I’m assuming he hasn’t based on zero posts with him riding? Only a handful of SX races left as well.  

Every other time he’s come back from injury he posts himself riding a bit on Instagram which has yet to happen.  Doesn’t mean he’s not riding but no indication that he is yet either 

Firstly it's quite a few weeks away so calm you farm

Secondly why do not need riding videos as proof ? He is under no obligation at all to post riding videos just to satisfy you

I can only recall one crash that resulted in an injury since going 450, and that was at Hangtown when he made a dumb decision. 
The two main injuries that have seen him sit out SX seasons have both happened on the bike without crashing. The only other big crash I can think of was in his rookie 250 SX season. 
The evidence supporting the narrative that Jett is a crasher appears to be very limited.

I’m not a Jett fan at all, but his post made me laugh because Jett’s one of the smoothest guys on the track. And his ACL wasn’t even from a crash or from not being smooth…

I agree.  Jett could still barely walk a few weeks back.  Dan Truman said at A2 he was going to be pushing it close to Pala.  I sure hope he’s healthy!

It doesn’t sound like he was ever in plans to race Supercross.  From a recovery time table…

Will Jett be ready?  Interesting question, but what do you mean by it?  Will Jett be physically ready to line uo on the gate and race?  Probably.  But the better question is whether Jett will be ready to face the moto universe equivalent of a black hole in the form of Haiden Deegan?  Haiden pulls his competitors into a force so strong, so unyielding, so gravity defying and relentless, that when they cross that line into the "Danger Zone" -- the moto horizon -- there is no turning back.  They grok (google it) their demise.  

Quite frankly (and I think I speak for most people if they are to be honest), I do not think that Jett is anywhere near prepared for that unrelenting force known as the Danger Zone.

I don't think you are accounting for the fact that since the Hunter family is from below the Equator, the Deegan blackhole will be spinning the wrong direction to affect their polarity.

Interesting take, however, the fatal flaw in your thesis here is that you failed to consider that black holes warp spacetime and therefore not even equatorial polarity can escape the momentous spin up of a black hole. Nothing escapes the Danger Zone, and that is what Jett and the rest of the Hunter family will face when he lines up against Haiden Deegan.
