Not exactly the kind of career you want to have as the #1 overall pick
But he overcame a lot of adversity, produced (wins and stats), and made a lot of money.
He should be happy as he moves on to the next chapter of life.

Wow. All that work to rehab and come back for basically naught.

I really admire the work and dedication to come back at all. He didn't have to.

I think it was a matter of him wanting to prove to himself he could get back to where he was...mission accomplished...

He has nothing to prove to anyone. Coming back from an injury like that...

I can think of lots of overall #1 picks who should be jealous of his career.

#35 on the career passer rating list. 35,000 yds. Not bad

All very impressive. Too bad he will always be remembered as the unfortunate

I don't think so. He was 20+ picks above Rogers. Almost every team passed on

He will be remembered for his comeback - as he should be.
