It should follow that a player with a higher GRIT index as per Ricardo's analysis should be injured more often because they put their body at risk more often. I challenge Ricardo to put together a massive data analysis project together and find whatever correlations he can between his GRIT index and being prone to injury. Might prove interesting.
Kind of being a jerk kind of not.... The whole GRIT thing is a stretch but it is also kind of valid. The question here is; do players with more grit get injured more often and is it worth having someone who plays with more grit for a part of the season or someone with less grit for more of the season.

Guys like Glencross get injured more often because he played a certain style and now his body can't keep up. Darcy Tucker was another example of players that play "all out" and then miss time because of the way they play.
