I understand and agree that the man is extremely talented, but half his stat sheet consists of simply a list of his injuries; he makes Christion Watson look lke Brett Favre.Barely a year ago, he and his family were seriously discussing whether he ought to retire, because he had 3 concussions in one season. Going back to his junior year in college, he's had no fewer than 11 serious injuries - at least 3 of which were season-ending. Concussions, knee injuries, numerous fractures (including several on his throwing hand) , and multiple serious soft tissue injuries, at least 4 of which required surgery.The dude's talent is not and has never been an issue; nor his heart, his descionmaking, or any other "semi-intangible" - but at least half of the last 6 years of his career, he's ended the season sitting on the sidelines in a cast watching his backup play the team's last game.Seems to me that $155,000,000 of guaranteed money - every penny of it dead cap - is a hell of a commitment for a guy who's probably Facebook friends with a couple of dozen EMTs, ambulance drivers, and emergency room staff.</blockquote>
