Now, if he IS 100% by week 8, then there is no debate. Trying to predict exactly how healthy someone is going to be at an exact moment is not an exact science... To be exact.

I'm not sure if you have read about this procedure, but when medically cleared he will be at 100%. THAT is the point. And that point is met within a six week period on average with this procedure. Brees has proven to heal faster and more completely than the average human given his well documented history. When he returns he WILL be at 100%. There will be no rushing. If he is where he is expected to be in week eight he will be at 100% and will be able to play with no risk beyond that of any other player.
