That is true, but NBT appears to be suggesting that Mario is too much of an injury concern to keep. On that basis alone, AJ is much more of a concern. He injured both hamstrings this year in separate non-contact incidents. To me, this suggests that AJ is much more likely to miss time going forward than Mario. But, you are right that to compare players, you need to take into account not only their propensity for injury but also the caliber of player they are. AJ clearly is at the top of the heap in this regard.
