Toby is grounded and a realist and focuses on details. But he is also a sad sack who expects ill fortune. I think one of his classic quotes is "it is better to have roommates than friends, because roommates have to give you at least one month's notice before they leave." To Michael Scott, the eternal optimist, Tony is always a downer pitted against Michael's thinking. He frustrates Michael to the point that Michael says: "If I had a gun with two bullets, and I was in a room with Hitler, bin-Laden and Toby, I would shoot Toby twice." I don't expect we'll get to that level here.
The problem with this analogy is some people aren't focusing on details though. It's just blatant pessimism. There's nothing out there to indicate it's a season ending injury and from actual details that have been put out there he's right on schedule with what has been said all along.
People use like 2 examples of players that took longer than expected to come back and ignore the 50 that came back on time/early and were fine.
You haven't been on the forum long enough if you think people don't get to that place lol
