It was interesting listening to Tony Dungy talk about this on the radio this morning. He was pretty candid in saying that his decision would be based on whether the less than 100% starter still gave you a better chance to win than the healthy backup. Never once did he indicate that the player's long term health factored in. Basically it was play the guy that gave you the best chance to win unless the doctor or player took him(self) out.
I think maybe it shines some light on the part of the business we all kind suspect exists. They are making potentially million dollar decisions. Maybe that playoff win is a higher priority.
My opinion is simply that the Redskins exposed themselves to this risk when they implemented an offense that we all know exposes the QB to greater injury risk. We've seen it before with Vick and other running threat QBs. Their legs win games, and their injuries lose them.
