I understand what it's like to have to recover from a weekly pounding, and still go to work at a regular job and make a living. Obviously it's much different between weekend warriors playing because they love to knock heads and getting paid hundreds of millions because you're a national icon, but at the physical level there are some similarities.
I agree with you it's different for every human. That is why you have players and qb's who play their entire career without any major injuries and / or surgeries etc.
But Burrow isn't really built like the Super Hero people around here act like he is. So we know he isn't that type of human unfortunately. His body has shown us that. And for that we should be more cognizant of how much more he can take and the effects of the beatings he's taken.
It be different if I was sounding this alarm for a player that never missed a game or chunks of seasons. Sure they may be fine through age 34 and I'd sound like an alarmist, but Burrow has already proven he isn't built like that physically. He is mentally.... Just not physically. So he's not THAT human.
