liquidcrystalcompass Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 He will never be the same after that type of knee injury. I had the exact same injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES-335 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I think he will do well in Miami. I am glad he is out of Minnesota away from all the drama. I actually like both teams and hope it is a new start for the Vikings and the right mix for the Fins. And liquidcrystalcompass, no offense intended, but are you a world class athlete with the best available surgeons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Woohooo At last the Dolphins have a decent QB, if he can get his confidence back he's gonna be awesome, especially with that running game to back him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrel Davis tore his and was never the same. Google posterior cruciate ligament and read. Doctors disagree as how to perform the surgeries. There just isn't a sure method of reconstructing it with 100% results. Mark my words he will NEVER be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggoodie Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I think Nick knows what he's doing, after all, the Fins recovered from a dismal start to finish 9-7 and barely miss the playoffs. They also won six straight at the end of the season, so in 2006 they will start on a winning streak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weakly Criminal Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Here's my little conspiracy theory: I think DC has been wanting out of Minn for some time and was tanking it just to get traded (knee injury not withstanding). He should be much happier in MIA. Will be interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
