I have to part company with you on that last sentence. You're saying Weary's broken leg was a lack of skill? And Dunta's knee? And Tom Brady's missed year? The fact is, every player on our team is just one play away from having his career ended by a freak injury. Football is a brutal game. The players who go throughout their careers without serious injury are the lucky ones.
