Wow, just the thought is scary.

If that had been the case I bet Big Ben would have been made a first ballot HOF'er just based on his number of wins. The sports writers would put him in based on total speculation of what his career could have been.

I think it would have almost been worse if he ended up like Christopher Reeves or something, just because he'd be a constant/living reminder of what could go wrong.
