No it isn't. If he would've been forced to retire in his mid 20s after his first injury he still would've made more money than 90% of people in the world who will work their entire life to survive.

Yet you would feel sympathy that he didn't get to play a game & make more money?

 

Let me put it this way...................say Eric Clapton would have a stroke and lost use of his hands.............all the money in the world wouldn't give him back the ability to play that guitar.....

 

.....and as a player I can tell you not being able to do that would like having a curse to live with the rest of your life ...........

You are comparing someone who has a great gift & talent to someone who is just strong & fast.

Congrats on making one of the dumbest posts I've ever read.

Perhaps, but isn't hand eye coordination part of playing a sport?.............and they are both entertainers.......

Oh, so that's all it takes to be one of the top players at your position in the NFL?

 

I guess I can go tell the Panthers to fire the scouting department. I got it from here.

Davis not only deserves the Walter Payton award, he deserves a Pro Bowl spot and league wide recognition of what he's gone through.  Many players tear their ACL's each year, and many don't have the fortitude to fight back after just one.  He's not only one of my favorite players, but even though he was a millionaire and might risk his ability to walk later in life by coming back after three ACL tears, he kept fighting to play the game he loves.  I greatly respect that.
