He may lose a bit of his athleticism after the first injury and then not be able to evade the hits like he can now.
I hope that isn’t the case, but history shows that QBs with a heavy run element to their games don’t last. There’s a reason running backs are typically done at 30 and guys like Brady, Brees, Manning play into their 40’s.
Hope he can adjust and just use the run to get out of trouble, but that is going to require a major change in mindset. It’s also going to take a coach that can see the bigger picture, even in the heat of a game. Sometimes, there are more important things than picking up a key 3rd and short.

Why can’t we just enjoy his greatness without worrying about how long it will last?
I mean, if I were a Ravens fan, I guess id be concerned, but I’m Not so I’ll just appreciate watching his skill set while it lasts.
