I wonder how many times we're gonna see this over the next few years

The numbers are based on the % of inquiry numbers being thrown around are per 'type' of play (ie being "in the pocket" has had more injuries per play than designed QB runs). "Running" QBs (and all QBs) are injured at a higher % on non-running plays. For example, Cam Newton's first big injury was trying to make a tackle on an interception. RGIII got injured trying to recover a fumble. There's a narrative that 'running' QBs take hits that take a toll over their careers, but there's very little data on that because Pocket Passers have generally been the prevalence and there have been very few "elite" running QBs over the history of the game to really have a comparison compared to pocket passers who are promising then flame out. I think this is a confused take because RGIII just wasn't a good QB. He made up for that by running, but by getting injured (in the pocket recovering a fumble) he remove his ability to make plays running and then couldn't pass well enough. It's hard to argue that he had been in the league (and college) long enough for the 'hits to accumulate' making his body weaker. He just wasn't a complete player. I'd also suppose that age is much more dangerous to running QBs than the 'hits' they take running the ball. That said, I'm 100% on board with limiting the designed runs. I think they're stupid, but because of the 'injury risk', but because I believe Allen is more dangerous with his arm and 'option' to scramble if it breaks down on most plays.

Curious, who took more hits last season, Allen or Burrow?

Thought this was some sort of joke/meme I didn't get

Too much missing info, but I think if the choice is "risky" for the Titans or "not 100%" then I hold him out for the Dolphins. This is not the Titans of the last couple years who "play down to their opponent". They are not as good of a team.

I'm not concerned about them not practicing. Neither guy needs every single day of practice during the season. Makes sense to let 'banged up' players rest. If Ed's still in a boot then that would be concerning for his prospects to play.

No idea how you got there, but I bet it was a wild journey.

I overheard Allen at the stadium saying water is wet. This dude knows science too. So amazing.

I know a few secret geniuses. They know they're geniuses, but they've managed to keep it secret from everyone else. I don't know Hackett, but I get the impression he's one too.

Seahawks did everything they could to make the Jets good.

Should have hired Daboll instead of Hackett

I'm not sure how much you can 'learn' from games you don't watch in week 1. You can't even base it on trends or analysis from others over the course of several games showing you patterns. Case in point, anyone who watched that game knows Baltimore struggled mightily on offense until Jets defense gave up after watching Flacco go through 2 quarters.

Honestly, Bills fans are just as sensitive about Allen now. Difference is, Allen is a legit superstar. I don't think Miami makes the playoffs and Tua has a mediocre stat year. There is nothing special about him. He is not quite Jimmy G. 😉

Dolphin fans are very excited about their offense scoring 13 points.. which to be fair.. is more than they scored in 2 games against the Bills last year.

Only Einstein could turn a defense unintentionally committing a penalty into a brilliant strategy. What a brilliant strategy to let the Titans miss a field goal.

Even as a joke this is.. 🙄

You missed the sarcasm.

It's risky to let your QB throw the ball when the game is out of hand and there's no reason for it. Cowboys paid the price.

We were always counting down the days until McCarthy was fired.

Dak is making Jerry think about coaxing Ryan Fitzpatrick out of retirement to be the backup

Josh's balls are a lot bigger than Bradys

Dak Prescott and Derek Carr

O lineman falling like leaves around the league

Not according to Dolphin fans.. I don't think they realize their offense only scored 13 points.
