Wow. 100 games. Sounds like Zimm!
It was a serious injury. The concern is how long does it take for full recovery. Maybe he will be fine this year.
Well, when you say a guy missed ‘most’ of the season, it’s pretty easy to refute when he indeed played a lot more than half games.
And I’m not sure what you want for a ‘full recovery.’ If you mean performance at the level before the injury, then he’s there. If you mean, level that some untrained evaluator can tell by just eyeballing that he doesn’t ‘look injured,’ then I guess he’s got a ways to go.
The guy had a serious injury, it takes time to recover. He didn’t have any other injuries the second half and has recovered. It was a freak injury. It’s nothing like Zimmerman.
But let’s ignore data because you know, feelings..
