Football Sources: Brady done with severe knee injury - Page 5

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is expected to miss the rest of the 2008 season with what two sources described as a severe injury to his left knee, suffered in the first quarter of the Pats’ 17-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium Sunday.

While New England coach Bill Belichick said in his postgame press conference that he had no update on the status of Brady’s injury, a source close to the quarterback indicated it involved serious damage to the knee. That could include a torn anterior cruciate ligament and perhaps other ligament and cartilage damage.

“It’s bad,” a team source said. “We’re going to have to play without him.”

Brady was hurt as he stepped up in the pocket to make a throw to wideout Randy Moss. Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard, who was on the ground, lunged forward and struck Brady’s leg, which buckled as he released the ball.

Brady was helped off the field and was later led down a staircase by team officials, presumably to undergo tests.

Fourth-year quarterback Matt Cassel, who had thrown just 39 passes in his career before Sunday, replaced Brady and completed 13 of 18 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown. Cassel, who backed up Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC, hasn’t been a starting quarterback since high school. He won a competition with Matt Gutierrez during the preseason to retain the job as Brady’s primary backup.

He got the win. His best pass was the 3rd and long bomb to Moss from their own 1yd line. The TD pass to Moss was a terrible throw and he didn't make many other nice ones. Lots of dump-offs and hand offs. He did have some nice scrambles to avoid pressure and move the chains. I don't think he's a guy you can give the ball and say, "Go win the game" though.

They've also had some bad calls against them. Happens to every team. You gotta outplay those things even if some luck is part of winning for everyone. It's not like that Steeler Colt game where everything was given to the Colts and nothing to the Steelers a few years back. That was gross.

Oh absolutely! But the game will have be managed and called conservatively with him in order to win. With a weak schedule they may do okay. I don't think it means a SB run by any means.

Honestly, we've been robbed two Favre vs. Brady classics.

Personally I felt sick.

I feel no ill will to the Patriots. I like Tom Brady, He works his ass of to be good.

Yes he is plastered everywhere because he is that good.

Do people line up to kiss his butt. Yes the world is full of sycophants especially in the media.

I hate to see any player get hurt (except Anthony Moreno in the 11th grade but that F***tard had it coming)

I find it appalling that any of you would cheer another player pain.

Ang

Tom Brady is no Anthony Moreno.

The Pats will still win 10-12 games...that system is bigger than any player, even Tom Brady.

Peyton Manning >>> Tom Brady
Tony Romo = Tom Brady

Put Manning on the Pats and they'd have won at least 5 or 6 Super Bowls...maybe in a row.

Cassel wasn't that bad. They could still win 8 or 10 games. Would not surprise me with the easiest schedule in the league

Cassel sucked in pre season, and the Chiefs seem to have a knack to make anybody and everybody either look great or set new records week in and week out.

Adam Schefter and a local Boston television station are also reporting this, FWIW.
