He was neither purely broken nor purely unlucky. He was called upon to do things unnatural to him because the rest of the team wasn't ready to play with abandon.

It affected him. It affected his relationship with his receivers [I'm talking about the fine-tuning of touch, not emotions or camaraderie], but it wasn't broken. He was trying to; 1) evade danger in behind a line that was still gellng, 2) make methodical decisions rather than surgical impulsive instinctive ones, and 3) avoid mistakes on long time-consuming drives, . . . mostly driven by catastrophic underperformance by the defense.

Those things take time to gel just the same as all the other aspects and even small lack of synchrony is going to compound into 'bad luck.' But that is fundamentally different from being broken.

It's more like if the bassist or drummer for Eric Clapton is sick, so he tries to take on incorporating basslines and drumlines into his guitar solos. Even if his guitar solos suffer in the short term for that effort, doesn't mean he forgot how to play guitar.

Or, another tangentially musical analogy, Patrick's Amps still 'go to 11' he's just working on gelling when the requirements of the setlist are more acoustic and ambient.
