C'mon man, isn't that splitting hairs? I've broken fingers several times and I can tell you that even 1 broken bone in a hand makes that hand little more than a club for awhile.

If you go back and look at my original post you will notice a link to a news article showing that 'soccer' England international Steven Gerrard was going to play with a broken toe, because the match he was in was so important. Given this, it was not infeasible that for such an important televised/scouts there match that Pick could have played with a broken thumb.

Wrong. That's just wrong. You may think I'm clumsy, but I've also broken several toes, and a broken toe does not equal a broken finger. Heck, they rarely even do anything for a broken toe; just send you home to let it heal. Point being, a LOT more dexterity is required of the hand of a QB, than the foot of a soccer player. You're comparing apples and peanut butter.

Let's just agree that both sports are physical, and any kind of physicality opens you up to potential injury.

Agreed.

Lets allso agree that because we live in the land of the free and the home of the brave that I can like 'Soccer' more than 'American Football' and you can like 'Football' more than 'Soccer'.

Yep! And that same set of rights extends to my right to get offended when I think a star QB has been unfairly maligned.
'Nuff said.
