Health can be a bit of a by-product of luck (at times, anyway). So I see these issues as quite a bit different.

Don't understand the bolded comment. I know he can rush the passer when healthy - the point I was making was developing his other skills. While we can get away with have a pure pass rusher THIS year, he's going to be Hali's replacement NEXT year. And if all he can do is rush the passer, he's going to be an inadequate replacement, IMO.
