Obviously all injuries heal different ways. Some athletes get serious injuries yet recover and go on to future success. NBA player Russell Westbrook, for example. Some obviously don't. Sometimes guys get injured, and legends emerge from his replacement. Tom Brady, eh?

Well this is what Vikings trainer said

"Teddy Bridgewater suffered a non-contact injury today at practice," Sugarman said in a statement. "The injury was quickly identified as a dislocated knee. The injury was stabilized, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation. After undergoing an MRI, it was determined that Teddy suffered a complete tear to his ACL and other structural damage. Fortunately, there appears to be no nerve or arterial damage. Surgical repair will be scheduled within the next few days. Although the recovery time will be significant, we expect Teddy to make a full recovery. I would like to thank all of the medical professionals and our athletic training staff for all of their help today. Teddy has already displayed the attitude needed to overcome this injury and attack his rehab."

So, pretty much the best-case scenario for an ACL tear. Good to know.

"Mock draft if every team led by a Chip Kelly clone."

Just think about it, teams would trade entire rosters. :p

I'm the last person who would defend Brady, but I feel I must here. Of course he wins with great players. That's why they're great players. It ain't a one man show out there. Hell, great players are why Grandpappy Peyton retired with a second ring.

Actually, in a couple of the years where he's done really well, he played with some nobody players. He played well even when CHAD OCHOCINCO was a WR on the team. Of course, not that Ocho was necessarily terrible, and also that was 2012, when they lost to the Giants (AGAIN), but you know what I mean.

Chad was alright. He just gets a bad rap for his mouth. Anyway, ask Otto Graham, he won seven championships with almost no talent around him. Or Sammy Baugh and Terry Bradshaw. (Swann doesn't count. He shouldn't be in the hall). Although it might be a bit unfair to compare leather helmeters to the modern ones. Mcnabb was pretty successful on a team full of nobodies. Hell he might of led them to a superbowl if not for his messed up ankle.

Christ, not this shit again. Okay, try this on for size. Name a future HoF offensive skill player Brady has played with besides Gronkowski (rookie year: 2010, at which point the Pats had already won three Super Bowls) or Randy Moss (who only played for the Pats for a year).

Go ahead. I'll wait.

Obligatory “I'm not a Tom Brady fan, I'm just an objective observer of the sport” mention here.
