And yes, the data supports the coaches making adjustments towards the end of the season but, he still ended up getting hurt. So what does that really mean?

Sometimes it's just bad luck.

It's football, injuries happen.

Agreed - football players always get injured. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are some of the biggest QB immobile rocks out there. Brady was out a year with a knee and Peyton was out with a neck. Admittedly it took them a lot longer to get hurt, and we all hope RG3 has understood the concept of protection.
