See this is my concern. I don’t think he is “injury prone” necessarily, but he is so strong willed that he would play on a broken leg if he could. I don’t think he should’ve practiced with the calf issue, but the dude is just not scared of anything, even with the risk of aggravating the injury. At this point I’m almost thinking it’s his ego, and he wants his teammates to see that he’s not a wuss. There are pro’s and con’s to that.
Most QB’s who come off an Achilles injury play safe to avoid injury. It didn’t seem like he changed anything, at least during the second half of the season.
This is the same guy who said in college “I don’t slide.” Thankfully he does now.
