Adrian Peterson has torn LCL

Favre should get MVP before Brady-- even Romo the _omo should get MVP before Brady- I hate Brady- with that OL allowing him to sit all day throwing the ball and his receivers catching any damn ball he throws-- he sucks-- guy never even has to leave the pocket- boo to you Mr Brady

I don't like him either.

I don't like him?? Come on show some hate- I freakin FACKIN hate Brady- GQ douchebag- hell I could look good behind the NE offensive line-- he should play for the Bears and see how awesome he looks-- he'd get shacked in the first play and hurt his pinky finger ending his carrier

Does that mean that Manning sucks, too, since he has been the least-sacked quarterback over the past five years?

No-- Peyton is good a scrambling and can make a play out of nothin- he moves around and finds open receivers fast-- Brady has all fackin day and just throws the ball to any receiver who somehow always manages to catch it- go to recap- Peyton good, Brett Good, Brady is just overrated (not sayin he's bad)- In otherwords- take Peyton, Favre, and Brady and make them play for the Bears- I think Brady would suck the most

Ooooo that was me above sayin this

when someone hits you head on in your knee, it's kinda hard not to be injured. That's not really an injury bug.

I agree. Peterson doesn't have a chroonically weak body part that keep getting injured- he's broken bones in the past and yesterday's injury was unavoidable. This not like Chad Penninton's shoulder or Fred Taylors hamstrings.

Yet he is still a better back than half of the other backs in the NFL.

even though he had a ROY worthy season after 8 games...

From my understanding the LCL isn't as big of a deal as the ACL or MCL, meaning a week or two of rehab and he can come back.

The LCL is different than the ACL or MCL. Apparently it is a faster healing injury that does not require surgery. According to reports it was a second-degree tear with third-degree being the worst.

Ha...posted at the same time.

Grade II meant it tore but not all the way and was stretched-- you are right about the LCL not being as important as the ACL and MCL but it will diffinately affect the way he cuts to the outside.. ACL holds the middle on the knee- from the tib to the fib from shearing forward- PCL does the opposite- MCL is in the inside of the knee joint and is more commonly injured due to being hit from the outside of the knee- LCL is on the outside of the knee joint and is usually hurt from hitting the inside of the knee which is more rare- anyway- regardless a grade II (not really called a second degree) is nothing to laugh about-- if it was Grade III that would mean he tore it all the way and would be FACKED!!!

If you guys are getting your info from the media they are underplaying this injury just like Chicago is about Urlacher- you guys watch Friday Night Lights- the movie??- MCL or LCL just matters which way you cut to the inside or outside- it will diffinatley affect a guy like Peterson since that's what he does-- if he played any other position no big deal- HE'S FACKED!

Bears fans might if Grossman struggles again.

I'm a Bears fan and I don't care- Grossman, Grease Machine, Orton- doesn't matter with a OL like they got- like I said stick Brady in there and lets see how good everyone claims he is
