I think toughness is playing through pain and not using it as an excuse ala Siemian. He's not a Cutler/Newton cry baby type. The reporting I read on this is most guys could not have played through the pain of this type of injury. Also would any qb the Broncos had last yr fared any better with our oline and running game? Looking at someone to determine their ability to stay on the field? If that was the determining factor then what happened to the "better built" Lynch???
