what you guys don't get is MM is going to start the season :).

The question is whether or not he'll be anywhere close to 100%.

Completely false. With a successful surgery and rehab a player can make it back completely in about 9 months.

It takes about 9 months before they are cleared by a doctor and they can play again. That doesn't mean the player is going to come back and be his old self right away. For RBs it usually takes a full season of playing to get back to where they were before the injury. The way it usually goes is a RB get's hurt in one season and sits out, comes back the next season and looks like about 85% of his old self, and then by the third season he is back to 100%. However, alot of non-RBs are able to come back the season after the injury and not skip a beat. I think Roman was healthy last year, he's just not all that fast or agile. He was never a track guy to begin with.

do you think he needs to be? I'd rather have MM at 70% than have Jason David or Jason Craft, lol.
