And yet, partly because of one missing detail, his legend lives… Source link

In this new era of elite quarterback preservation, we were supposed to be beyond this. We were supposed to be through with the days of the injury cart ferrying off the most prized franchise commodity, often to the disgust of every competitor on the field. Rule changes were made for this. Offensive philosophies were augmented. Equipment was enhanced.
