He's had a history of fractures. And sometimes if something fractures, it doesn't heal as you'd like. That's the nature of the beast. It's a but/for causation thing.
Is it a fluke that the bone didn't heal right? Maybe - but without the fracture it's not an issue. Is it a fluke that Mahomes drove himself into Rice's knee? Yeah, but without the interception, that's not an issue.
Guys that get hurt...get hurt. And recoveries are vague and unpredictable. I don't think you can hand-waive it when a guy who's had multiple fractures BEFORE you signed him, has another AFTER you signed him and then things don't go according to script with recovery. Because things OFTEN don't go according to script with recovery.

It's not just the healing part that is a freak accident, the injury itself was a freak accident. It had absolutely nothing to do with him being injury prone, and it's silly to pretend otherwise.
If Hollywood had a hamstring or something that kept him out a few weeks, it would be fair to say "I told you so". This is not a scenario where it's fair to play that game. It was 100% a freak bad luck situation, regardless of your opinion on his injury history or mine.
