Has any team in any sport benefited as much from an injury as the saints have benefited from Drew Brees' 2005 shoulder injury? If not for that injury, it is unlikely the saints would have a franchise qb. When I posed this question to my buddy, he mentioned the Yankees benefiting from Wally Pipp's injury. However, doing some research, I found out that Gehrig got the start due to a benching, not an injury.

So I asked you what other sports injuries have greatly benefited a team?

The Steelers. Tommy Gun would have still been QB for a couple more years and they dont get 2 SB's.
