I love how someone on CP will tear an achilles, or an ACL, or a shoulder and be like, "oh man...that happened to me! No way he's coming back from that!"
and forget that these are WORLD CLASS athletes with WORLD CLASS PHYSICIANS and WORLD CLASS PEDs (let's not be naive here)

Just for the record, I'm not saying that it's impossible for Derrick Johnson to return to 90% or more in less than a year removed from a ruptured Achilles' tendon. He could. But, it's not a certainty or an absolute.
I'm sure that every Chiefs fan holds that hope but to suggest that it's all but certain, especially from a personnel standpoint, could lead to disastrous results in 2015.
