I'm no NFL insider, but the marginal negative impact of being viewed as a quitter would seem to be worse than an extra 20 carries on his player profile.

Depends on the undisclosed injury actually.  Never claimed it was purely about that injury.  Rather it was part of the entire calculus.  From our perspective there are so many unknown variables, so hard to know and we are not entitled to an explanation IMHO.  In the McCaffery family a number of those variables are actually known.  Given the family is all-in on the sports scene and has NFL experience, I will continue to believe they understood the full equation and made the best call for Christian.  Really doesn't matter what we all think BTW.  It was his right to make that call, and he made it.    No need to seek or get forgiveness IMHO.

I do think one could walk down the hypothetical path and speculate if Chryst gets hurt if McCaffery is in the game.  My guess is Chryst doesn't get hurt on Friday, but a non-contact injury like that might have happened to Chryst eventually.  Continuing to walk down the hypothetical path...it might be best for Stanford for that ACL to happen in the Sun Bowl than in August in Sydney.
