The thing is 3 months rest IS enough. He's good right now. But whenever he gets to playing it will flare back up again. This is why his return is being pushed back. Yeah he can play right now, but he won't be as good for the playoffs with the accumulation of wear and tear from 8 NFL games. They are saving the best version of Berry they can possibly get given their current situation for what matters most: the post-season.
This is why I don't see the point in dogging Berry for this. The entire thing is collective. Both the team and Berry are on the same page and some fans need to realize this. Just be patient and wait for the playoffs. A SB win in Atlanta will be well worth it.
