What I think is interesting is that Tua has never feared getting hurt personally... Its been more about his parents and familly. Ever since coming into the league, Tua got hurt and played the same way, fearless... There's always been a guy behind him who could win games, just think of the hip injury and how Mac was still able to win games for that team. Fast forward to his first season as a Fin and he's actually the backup, then gets to play games and gets pulled at some point for something not injury related. Its always been about him not fearing injury on a personal level.
I think this time around he's starting to grasp the fact that him getting injured doesnt only hurt him, it hurts the team... And whether or not anyone thinks its the right mindset to have, this might be what actually leads him to protect himself better on a play by play basis. Dudes a ****ing warrior but his football team needs a QB.
