It's a brutal game. And those who love it often don't have the chance to walk away when they want to. The injuries this guy has endured playing in the NFL would have killed some posters here. How many here have had a lacerated liver?
He can do what he wants, he's the one who feels the pain. And he's in pain now. Not just from the injuries, but he no longer gets to do something he loves. He is now going to live the life with the rest of us.
If Peyton Manning could strap it up one more time, he would do it. So would this kid. But his body won't let him. I'm 60+ and I'm finding I can't do the things I use to. He's 29, and his body is failing him.
Get a grip, he got his jersey pulled off him by injuries, not by choice.

This is where I disagree
he is very much physically still able to play the game
This is not some career ending ankle or calf injury
he just doesn't want to play though it or rehab anymore no more trying
That is quitting. Call it emotional toll or whatever, but its quitting.
