Lets apply the injury angle across the board. Having back surgery can be difficult to come back from, especially for linemen. So is safe to say that JPP's career is over or that he will never be the same as he was early in his career? Or is that overstating things?

No person said it(his knee injury) will happen once a year (a little dramatic don't ya think) but you must consider his position and the fact that he has had the same injury on the same knee twice now. As for JPP his career is not shot because of one injury(again you are dramatic) but if he has back surgery again to fix what was already done ,yes I would say he wasn't the same player. Yet as I said before the players position has a lot to do with the injury and whether a player can play with it or not.
