It's like saying driving 100 mph is more likely to get you in an accident, but you got hit and run while parked. 4 minutes ago, AFlaccoSeagulls said: I'm just here to remind everyone that Lamar has suffered exactly 0 injuries while running. His injuries have all come from the pocket. Okay carry on don't let me interfere with the narratives at play... I'm reasonably sure that previous studies indicate that its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more likely a qb gets hurt in the pocket than at any other time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. You take a lot more unexpected hits so your body isn't bracing for contact. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry you didn't interfere because it you didn't mentioning anything about Mike Vicks injury history, Justin Fields injury history, and now Colts QB. So you're good. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players get hurt. It's the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonserinNC Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 I dont think longevity is the actual goal, its just use these guys and hope to win early, I.E. , Lamar has already been to a super bowl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, my bad I thought they made a Super Bowl, they made an AFC championship game though right? Anyway my point is that its win now mentality, no one is drafting a running QB to play in his 40's like Brady or anything, the goal is like 32-33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Ultimately a qb has to be effective as a passer if they can run. Whether it is on script and can make runs or make runs and make passes off script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First round playoff exit in 2019, then AFC Divisional exit in 2021(?) against Buffalo. Then last year was a first-round exit against Cinci.

QBs have said those hits (roughly translating your description to blindside hits) aren’t as painful not as injury-inducing as front face hits. One of their reasonings is that bracing makes it worse. This is the same thing that’s said about car crashes: those who don’t brace (read: are drunk) generally suffer less damage (all other variables notwithstanding ofc).

Pugger Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 On 10/19/2023 at 4:00 AM, Jlowe22 said: Ben and Rodgers seemed to get injured constantly. Brady, Manning, and Brees all had their one big injury, but other than that remained relatively healthy for a decade or more, until age caught up with them. I think Rodgers issue is he isn't the biggest QB around. Ben made Rodgers look petite by comparison. But Rodgers' current injury was just terrible luck.

Malik Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Surprised Josh Allen hasn't been mentioned. He is a running QB and hasn't missed any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
