It really is amazing how even in the 90's a torn ACL was career threatening, and career ending in so many cases. but now its almost no big deal "he'll miss the rest of this year but he'll be back to normal by the start of next season". i mean, we see 1 or 2 ACL tears a week around the nfl. were a couple of guys careers ending a week a couple of decades ago, or were there just less acl injuries?

it seems to me like it use to be a freak injury, now it seems almost run of the mill
