It seems so to me, too. I don't know if statistics actually show that, but maybe we notice the injuries more this season because some of the teams that were preseason favorites to make the playoffs seem to be suffering multiple injuries to starters.
Nonsense. Do you know how many teams have won Super Bowls with QBs who were hardly more than journeymen???? Some teams won Super Bowls with backup QBs FCOL!
That's why I don't shop at Aldi's. I find it insulting to have to pay a deposit on the use of a shopping cart, not only because I always return my cart to a corral, but because here in Jtown, almost everybody else returns their carts, too.
I believe a suspension starts when the player is active for a game, so any games missed while on IR or PUP list can't be counted toward suspension games. IIRC DeShaun Watson was injured for a while after the trade to Cleveland, but he had to serve his suspended games after he was ready to play.
In the preseason, the general belief was that whoever was the QB would hold the team back because the team was that talented. That belief was re-enforced when first round rookie QB JJ McCarthy was lost for the season during pre-season.
