It's still rare for players to recover 100%, but think about the old days..we didn't have a 24 hour news cycle and instant updates of every player in all the leagues. Back then serious injuries were pretty much it for players and they went on to have careers selling cars and beating their wives..
For me, what would be interesting, is if there was a way to find out a percentage comparison. What percentage of players were tearing those from 60s to 80s as opposed to those from 90s to present, but that's not a possibility.
