I see your point. He had four superb years before 2013 so there are questions if 2013 was the beginning of the end or if there were other factors (injuries to the line, injuries to himself, etc.). Plus the concern over a year layoff also works both ways - is he better for not punishing his body last year or is he now not in shape to take a hit.
Then there's the PR factor but, you know, he's said he's sorry in a number of different ways and sat out his suspension. Folks like giving people a second chance if they seem to have learned from their mistake.
Besides, Chuck would say my harangues about lefthanded QBs are worse than this idea.
