I question that.

I question that.

Well it comes from Idiot Rat so I am always dubious....

I heard he also couldn't see out of his left eye and had no depth perception all year. Needed eye surgery after the SB.

The GOAT doesn’t get enough credit for how tough he is.

And he never makes excuses.

It’s incredibly impressive that a 43-year old Brady with a fully torn MCL is still winning Super Bowl MVP’s and outplaying Mahomes.

He had a torn MCL that was repaired with offseason surgery.

That is not in dispute.

The only thing in question was whether it was partially or, as some reported, fully torn.

I remember in the Spring being surprised when he mentioned he had been rehabbing for 5-6 weeks from surgery that was described as pretty serious.
I was thinking "for what? When did this happen?"

Now we know.

I thought I should add this since I started the thread.

He was actually fully blind and relied on smell to pinpoint his receivers.

Lots of people play through MCL injuries, some never even knowing they were injured.

My then 15 year old daughter found her MCL tear about 16-18 months after it occurred when she tore her ACL and they did the MRI.

Brady is tough as nails but this isn't that uncommon.

The legend of the GOAT continues.

Jesus ........ the guy won a Superbowl with a torn MCL.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

When he was with the Pats Brady was on the "injured list" every week with some kind of injury, mostly a shoulder, but never missed a game.

So I seriously doubt anything that says he had a torn mcl.

But even if he did, as little as he runs it wouldn't affect his play all that much...

Well I heard he actually had no bones in his wrist and that was also surgically repaired this summer
