That's not at all accurate. He's been stellar every year except one.

You have these two players reversed. Peppers is consistent, Westbrook is anything but.
Westbrook has missed games every year. But most of those years he's only missed a few. And his production has been so stellar over the games that he has played (on average) that I for one would live with his overly high rushing average, and him being an absolute threat out of the backfield... at the expense of 1-3 games per season lost (on average).

I wasn't aware of any issues with his knees, but his concussions were well documented last year. Oddly enough, for a RB, concussions don't seem to be a very typical injury that I hear about.

I am wrong for the mostpart about Peppers over the course of a season. May be splitting hairs, but the season that he had 7 sacks can't be considered "stellar". That's a bit less than what I would expect for out of a DE like him. I had thought that he had a bad season last year as well. Guess that I was wrong.
