I think it's beyond that, even. Its just one of those football "truisms" the majority of participants will continue to parrot. Everybody's been told its one way for years, so it's hard to accept the possibility that its the other. Folks are just stubborn. The Dilfers, Detmers, and Hasselbecks of the world certainly are a major contributor though.
Notice how all these qbs hurt this weekend while in the pocket and...
- Thread starter NYC Rebel
- Start date
Football is a contact sport..if your playing on the field an x amount of times you increase the chance of getting injured.
With that said a pocket passer QB is LESS LIKELY to receive injury as a MOBILE QB.
OP is taking isolated events from Sunday and tying it into one to give an excuse for QBs to run more.

Rodgers just got crushed trying to scramble. That was only a matter of time.
Who got hurt this weekend that was in the pocket? Peyton?

EJ was running out of bounds when he got hurt
Rodgers was scrambling when he got crushed
RG3 was scrambling when his knee got bent

With that said...you don't believe in data.
Nothing "isolated" about Sunday. QBs get hurt in the pocket just as much as they do running. Jay Cutler, Payton, Locker coming back from an injury where he was hurt in the pocket.

For RG3 I was talking about when he got injured in the playoffs.
Running out of bounds is something that any QB can do. Bradford got hurt running out of bounds and we know that he's not a scrambler.
I never said anything about Rodgers.
