In McMahon’s defense he spent his whole career with the Rockies where the “analytics” were very much to be ignored.
Chris Kirschner talks here about how Jazz, Grisham, and McMahon are among the Yankees players who are least receptive to analytics, which is pretty funny since the people who say the Yankees are too into analytics probably also really hate those guys

Wasn’t it pitched as like cute that Colt McCoy got concussed like 5 times in a game and kept going and then said he couldn’t remember it?
They all will play to their own detriment. Guys were all playing with concussions until they made rules that took the decision out of their hands entirely. When it's a legit danger you simply can't give them the option!
Quarterbacks in particular get this. Anthony Richardson pulled himself for like one play and it’s all anybody cares about for his whole career.
Pro athletes are programmed from the time they're like 12 to "die on the field". It is baked into the culture of pro sports, and the teams themselves profit immensely from cultivating that mindset. They have a responsibility to the players to keep it from actually happening.
