Stop it, that's untrue. Countless people have torn ligaments and have recovered 100%
He broke his fibula and the way it broke, he most likely tore the syndesmotic ligament. They'll operate on the ankle to stabilize the ligament and hold the ankle together.
My wife did the same thing, ankle twisted the same way. They put a screw to hold the ligament and a plate to fix the fibula.
Now, I'm not comparing OBJ to my wife, but how many people tear acl's or ankle ligaments and come back?
Every doc I spoke to today said (1) based on the video of the injury he almost certainly had ligament damage; (2) the decision to operate corroborates that; nd (3) he will make a good recovery, but that post injury things are never entirely the same, and that he may lose a half to a full step.
Are people fucking serious? After watching Cruz, Nicks, Smith, and countless others be done in their mid 20s we seriously haven't learned our lesson? The guy's entire skillset depends on speed, cut-ability, ect. He absolutely could be done.

100% agreed.
If he doesn't show the same skills next year we absolutely can't sign him long term
is that Beckham with, say, a 20% lower ceiling is probably still good enough to play in the NFL.
We still might not be able to keep him, because like Steve Smith, he might be convinced he's still worth getting superstar money, even if he's no longer a superstar. But if he and the team agree on reality, he's certainly worth keeping around.
We are talking a “generational” talent. This injury very likely will take away what makes him super special. Yes he will get back on the field and be a good player but if he can’t be OBJ anymore than this past Sun was truly one of the worst days in Giants history.
That’s why I asked if we know yet if the ligament was involved

Truth hurts. Im not saying he's never playing again, but he could easily not be the same if he ripped up ligaments, ect. Give me a break.
