Well the actual question was "are you worried about Jordan Hasay" but I put Jon and Robert on the spot and made them answer if she would make the team.
Our responses are here:

What do you think?
No. There’s a better chance of Jamin scoring a date.
No
"One word answers only."
Possibly.
If you train with her, are her coach or actually are Jordan Hasay, then you could make a pretty good prediction.
If she is healthy, she will win the trials by over 1 min. She runs well on the hills and has been very competitive in Boston. She is 2-3 min faster than the rest of the field. Sara Hall bonked hard when she ran Boston. She has only done well on very flat marathon courses.
I am not very confident that she will be healthy. A hamstring tear takes weeks to mend. She is probably going to have a training cycle that is at most 12 weeks for this race. I really hope she can put together a good race because she is the best chance for a US marathon medal.
I don't think she'll be top three.
This course isn't Hasay Certified, for lack of a better explanation.
it entirely depends on if bobblehead can get Jordan's dosages dialed in and if Jordan can adjust well to the new cheaterflys
Yes Yes Yes
The Lord Almighty will be with her!
I hope so.
She's been through so much.
Yes - 10K.
No, she will not make it. There are too many other women right now that have done great things in the past 12 months, it will be three of those women. Sisson leading the way, a dog fight for next two spots.
Let's look at her finishing history against other American women.
2017 Boston, 2 min. ahead of next closest American , Chicago 13 min.
2019 Boston , 1:40 ahead
Boston course is not easy, Atlanta course is not easy, not a factor against her.
Note she had other women to chase at these prior marathons, maybe not the case depending on how the race goes and if somebody takes a flyer.
Jordan will make the race honest and will be pushing at the finish to make her first Olympic team.
Yes.
I have heard of her

A hamstring tear takes "weeks" to mend? Seriously? Do you know anything about sports?

? It depends on many factors, primarily how bad it is. But depending on their severity, they can...
Question, was it already tweaked when she went into Chicago?
If she starts, I give her an 85% chance of finishing. If she finishes, I give her a 98% chance of being top 3. If she gets top 3, I give her a 75% chance of winning.

Jordan finished 3rd at Boston in the last 12 months. A better performance than any other American woman.
is it weird to anyone else that no other professional runners comment on Jordan's instagram posts? Feel like all the other training group team members exchange positive comments (thinking of Bowerman Babes, Emma Coburn's group, Sisson/Huddle, Goucher etc.) and Jordan gets nothing...
