According to your shifting goalposts? That's obviously unlikely as I already provided several examples and data on where most QB injuries occur. I'd appreciate it if you have actual data and not your random feelings. Can you provide data on the 'average' career of 'pocket' passers vs 'running' qbs? Can you provide any data at all?

He's far too valuable for a 3rd down conversion miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are certainly "mobile" QB's as you described like Young, Elway, Rodgers, Wilson that simply take 8 yards when given and go out of bounds or slide. Cam Newton went from MVP to being washed before he was 30. You want a Nostradamus prediction? Lamaar Jackson at the age of 25 has 2-3 years of playing in this style left. Then he's going to have to rely on his arm (yikes). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Alen isn't your normal QB also, he was laughing and smiling as he was hitting those guys last night. He is the one who people don't want to tackle b.c they are afraid they will get hurt.

I've already told you that both of Newton's injuries didn't come from running. His shoulder injury which is when it's widely considered he started sucking came when he tried to make a tackle after an interception. Please explain how that is related to his running? Also, his second injury to his foot was evading a sack. So should Josh stop attempting to evade sacks?

Thurman#1 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 45 minutes ago, Malazan said: What history has shown this? Please name the QBs you are talking about. Randall Cunningham: 15 seasons Mike Vick: 13 seasons Steve Young: 15 seasons Kordell Stewart: 9 seasons Donovan McNabb: 13 seasons John Elway: 16 seasons Steve McNair: 13 seasons Almost every commonly cited rushing quarterback used as an example to avoid running had their most significant injury happen in the pocket or on a fluke play(like RGIII who got injured recovering a fumble). But there's no way to know whether part of Griffin's injury might have been caused by restriction of motion from previous hits or whatever. Or that his many hits in the future years might have hurt his ability to recover from that injury. He was a running QB whose career was drastically cut short. Would it have been cut short if he hadn't been a running QB? That's arguable, but in fact, he was a running QB whose career was cut short. Cunningham? The last half of his career he was a shell of himself. I give you that Vick's torched career wasn't caused by injury but by moral turpitude but again the last half of his career he wasn't the same. Had that one great year when I thought he might, but he just wasn't good after 2010 as he'd been. Steve Young went 15 seasons but his first seven he played very little. A great player and a guy who didn't lose many games to injury or wear, but it's not like he had 15 years of wear and tear on him. He didn't. Kordell Stewart? 9 seasons? Please. That's how long he was in the league but not how long he played. Elway is a pretty good example. He's also a guy who could run but didn't do it a lot unless he had to. Lasted a long time, though. McNair ran a lot less and was a lot less athletic late, but he's also a good example of a running QB who played well for a long time. But there aren't a ton of them. Although I'd also thrown in Mr. Fran Tarkenton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what you do know is that he was a running QB whose career appears to have been drastically abbreviated. And Cam was a big strong man who liked to run and didn't mind being hit hard.

Although I'd also thrown in Mr. Fran Tarkenton. Cunningham certainly declined, but most pocket passers also decline. He also had his best year by in year 13. As I also displayed, many, many more injuries occur in the pocket. Many more 'big hits' occur in the pocket against a stationary QB. I'm not arguing that they shouldn't look to have Josh run less. The concern about it vastly overblown though. 4 minutes ago, Thurman#1 said: Yes. How many of his career problems were caused by those two specific injuries?

Sound familiar? Then your argument is a fallacy. All points of data refute your assertion so then saying "Well, maybe there's something we don't know!" is not rational. On top of that, we have even more data showing that QBs take more big hits in the pocket. Why would the hits pocket passers take (which again, are more frequent) not add up on their injuries?

It's the blindside hit on a QB standing still that does the most damage. Who looked worse atht end of the night? Josh the guy who was hitting players or Stafford the pocket QB who couldn't run? Stafford looked like he just wanted the night to end by the 6th sack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
