Of course we do not yet know the injury but this looks like the perfect senario for the league to look into using HGH to treat an injury with doctor supervision. I bet many players would be in favor of this. Around the league they say that the NFL needs Tom Brady.

Yeah the league needs him but I'm not for bending the rules just cause it happens to be our teams star player.

Absolutely not. We wouldn't accept this from any other team, but because it's the Patriots and Tom Brady, we should make an exception?

Too hard to regulate, and sends a bad message that the league doesn't want associated with it.

I am in favor of a complete rule change. Make it legal to use with doctor supervison when there is an injury. Every player should be able to have this treatment.

I dunno, something in me says this is not right, but I can't help but, at this time, agree with it.

Get your best out there vs our best. I would rather watch that than watch the alternative....

It's a moot point anyways cause it ain't gonna happen

I agree with the basic idea--change the rules for everyone, not just Brady.

I'm not 100% sure about HGH--and I say this only because I don't know enough about its potential side effects in these circumstances.

I can all but gaurantee Tom will use HGH to recover he just wont be dumb enough to get caught. He will buy it cash from a "source" its out there and its impossible to detect it will be used gauranteed

and yes I am just speculating but come on I hope he does and I hope every injured athlete tries it cause its harmless from all the reports when used properly.

Maybe one of us can drop it at his door

Just think about what all the haters would say if he got caught. To bad we can't spike his water with it.

cartmen

he wont get caught just like the hundreds that get it and never get caught. You think RH and SM are the only few taking it. Carson Palmer had a similar injury and came back like nothing happened. THis is not natural. TO, Steve Smith,...etc the list goes on and on

Football is a social event as much as it is a sporting event. Too many eyes on what these players are doing. If it's known that players are taking HGH to improve their injuries etc., this will become normal for soiety.

Maybe the worry isn't for adults, but parents are already having this stuff proscribed for kids.

In Texas where parents have been known to hold kids back so they can be older and bigger than their peers for football, this stuff would be used and abused.

I vote NO, for the social principle of it. I don't want a beefed up society of HGH users. Kids are already taking attention-deficit inhibitors like candy just to do well on tests. When I was a kid, we tried recreational drugs. Kids today are into designer drugs that give them an edge.

I say NO.
