I feel like this is a myth. Last year's injury was really serious and one of those freak ones that would have taken anybody down. Besides 2012, he's rarely missed a game. He may have earned that reputation from the migraines on fridays, but he almost always played on sundays. And was putting up OPOY if not MVP level numbers before he went down. Seahawks Vikings 2012 was an outstanding game besides that.
