Seems like a "Torn Rotator Cuff" on a QB's throwing shoulder is a career changer...

A small excerpts...
"On the other hand, there is a painfully lengthy litany of professional and college-level quarterbacks whose football careers were either ended by rotator cuff surgery, or whose performance diminished dramatically following the procedure. Majkowski, who led the Packers to a 10-6 record in 1989 with all manner of legendary derring-do and was second in the NFL MVP balloting that year before suffering a rotator cuff injury the following season, is one of them. Others include Hall of Fame quarterback Gary Danielson, Greg Cook, Jim Miller, Bob Griese, Jim McMahon, and Tim Couch. And that's just scratching the surface of the quarterbacks who discovered rotator cuff injures to be the bane of their professional existence."
"Jim Miller basically played the entire 2002 season for the Chicago Bears with a torn rotator cuff. It was one year after Miller piloted Chicago to a 13-3 mark, its first division championship since 1990, earning himself a handsome contract extension. It was also, Miller recalled, easily the worst season of his itinerant career."
So, in view of these shortcomings, I wish Drew the best for a speedy recovery, but I believe Culpepper's arm is at 100%...
