grant's injuries put him at no risk for permanent disability or life changing injuries beyond that of any other football player. he won't be playing in the NFL so it's not like playing hurt risked his draft stock or anything like that. QB's have played before with similar injuries to throwing shoulders (chad pennington) so it's not like it's unheard of.
a lot of guys have played with separated shoulders.
a lot of guys have played with torn labrums.
a lot of guys have played with a torn meniscus.
some QB's have played with torn rotator cuffs.
michigancat, please summarize your athletic career for me so we can see exactly why you feel my brother is a loser. as disappointed as you were with the loss to nebraska you put in zero time the weight room, zero time in meetings, zero time studying film, and zero time on the practice field preparing for that game. so while you may think you were heartbroken after that loss, remember that the 105 REAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS on the k-state team actually had something invested in it.
i'm not going to get into the gregory vs coffman debate, but grant turned the ball over 5 times in 8 games as a starter, coffman turned the ball over at least 6 times (4 ints, at least 2 fumbles) in 4 games. protecting the football is kind of an important thing in football
