OTOH, I don't remember anyone complaining about QB sneaks until he got hurt, and now people act there's a 100% chance of him getting hurt if he does it again.... and now it'll be the same for those option plays, like he's turned into a china cabinet overnight because he's been injured and unavailable for all of like 3.5 games over 3 seasons.

Reid's won a SB and has now reached CG weekend for like the 14th time or something.... not sure how much I'd want him second guessing and using the 2nd best option and playing it safe. The added risk of +1 or 2 hits just isn't significant enough, and the fact that he got hurt once probably reduces the chances that it will keep happening (unlike popular belief here, which seems to be a low chance thing happening means it'll happen a 2nd and 3rd and 4th time).

Agree, quality post...

What Andy could be doing, and maybe he's trying and just not succeeding, is improve the O-line. It's strange to have a $500,000,000 asset PMII protected by an O-line like this.
