I said the exact same thing when Geno was out there in 2020 playing poorly with one arm. It's not about protecting himself, it's about what's best for the team. Yes Baker should have sat too, broken ass Baker wasn't better than healthy Case Keenum.
Does it hurt the team to play poorly because you are injured? Yes.
But is it silly to judge a player's value based on how he played while he was injured? Also, yes.
