To be fair, I'm sure they are plenty worried of their best player becoming injured again. Let's not pretend they picked extending Julio over trading for A.J. or something though (not saying that you're implying this, just a general statement). Whether he's been injured or not, you basically HAVE to extend your best player. I think you or someone else even mentioned that already. They would have given him this extension whether they were worried about future injury or not IMO, they're in the position where they have to.
FWIW, I think Julio has been sliiiiiiiiightly more impressive on gameday, but has done so with a better QB, better coaching, and has had more injuries, so I put A.J. and Julio right on the same page right now, maybe even giving A.J. the nod with all things considered. A.J. actually impressed me more early in his career where Julio looks to be at his best right now, so it'll be interesting to see what they both do this coming season.
