for anyone afraid of vilma and his knee read this

I didn't read the article above and didn't read any of the replies. Absolutely we should be afraid of the surgery. I think there is a better than 50% chance that his career is in question. I wouldn't touch Vilma after he had a microfracture surgery if that is what he is having. I can only think of two player that had this type of surgery...Stephen Davis and Robert Edwards. Neither came back to play at a very high level. Neither was terribly productive. Again, I'd pass on Vilma. Not worth the risk.
