Sure, he could've returned. However, when the big concern about him (and all running QBs) is that they are more subject to injury... it doesn't make anybody feel any better when he gets hurt on one of the very first plays of his NFL career.
And then gets hurt/re-hurt at the end of that same game to they point where they have to call time-out and get him off the field and then decide it's not worth it to have him run a couple more plays.
And then he gets knocked out 18 plays into his second game. The doctors kept him out because he went to them and told them he was messed up.
Maybe (hopefully) he never sustains another significant injury for the rest of his career. But you can't deny this is a bad early trend.
