When he stepped onto the field last year, he already had enough recovery time. This is my point, his knee is done and so is his career.

I don't wish anything bad on him, I'm just being realistic.

Enough recovery time?

Do you realize he absolutely shredded his knee blowing out 3 of the 4 major ligaments on 10/30/05??

So less than a year later he was on the field starting opening day, sorry but that clearly was not enough time to fully recover from that injury and you're definitely not being realistic here.

He states he was probably 85-90% healthy when he tried to come back, but in reality I'd bet he was no better than 70-75%. He then required a 2nd surgery on Nov. 30 to clean up the knee, which turned out to be a more serious surgery than the Dolphins initially let on.
