Yahoo :Tom Brady out for season (sources say) *Merge*

[jobberone]

Hard to say how bad it is and where this 18 month timeline came from. Articular cartilage damage wouldn't be known until there is an MRI so I guess we won't know more about that until tomorrow.

18 months just seems like a very long time line to be talking about at this stage and with this little information.

Hopefully he is back next year.

I agree. Someone mentioned a worse case scenario and they ran with it. I've seen 18 months but these NFL players are royalty and get all the PT and other mutliple modalities they can throw at it. He's not a mobile QB anyway and I can see him returning in time for next year.

No such thing as karma, but it couldnt have happend to a less likeable player/team


How fun would a Steeler/Cowboy superbowl be? Would it break the rating record?

No way he tore ACL, MCL and PCL. That would leave his knee so unstable that he wouldn't walk on it.

He could make it back for the season opener next year with the appropriate rehab.

I said last year that at some point, either last year or this coming year, that Karma would comeback and bite them in the butt for all those games where they ran up the scores just to simply pad their stats. Now they're reaping what they've sowed.

Unfortunate for Brady (cause I like him) but I expected this.

Super Bowl losers in recent years have had trouble staying healthy in the subsequent year. Look at the Bears' D last year, and look how they played(at full strength) tonight. Ditto the Hawks the year after-Matt and Sean were injured most of the year.

Obviously-they're jinxed, that's all.

I had a patient a year ago who tore all 3 and he could walk but he did have to be very careful with it.

I tore my ACL and finished the game with it. You simply cannot diagnose somebody by the way he walks off the field. And these players are machines, they have muscles everywhere, that can compensate a torn ligament for a while.

Karma is real,

beware and cautious in that here in getting giddy in others injury

It does come around

Heck, I don't feel sorry for Brady either.

3 Super Bowls, Dating models, going 16-0 for one season, and a future Hall-of-Famer.

He'll be fine... he's coming back next season.

If it's "career ending" then I'll feel sorry. Since it's not.....I don't. See ya next season, Brady.

Now, I would like to see If BeliCHEAT can coach & I would LOVE to see if NE is going to get the "Pats" Randy Moss or the "Raiders" Randy Moss . Only time will tell.

Hey Randy! you should have signed with Dallas when u had a chance. Now look what cha stuck with.

I think there is universal agreement that this makes the AFC pretty interesting, and it is an abrupt end to the Patriot dynasty as well.

They will be 9-7 or 10-6 this season, perhaps limp into a wild card.

Then again what is so mighty about the AFC this year?

People like Stan Humphries and Trent Dilfer have taken teams to the Super bowl so who knows.

Brady is out with a major knee injury for rest of season perhaps 18 months.

I sure hope that's not true... one shudders when one contemplates the number of kids he might father with THAT much free time...
