First time watching the NFL?
NFL
A place for NFL news, game highlights and everything that excites you about American Football.
This has been a really bad year when I really try to think about it. The worst that comes to recent memory.
No, last year was. 66 backups. We’re around 45 rn
Lol Daniel Jones out for the year oh noooooooo our elite quarterbacks lmfao
Feels like there’s more injuries and more serious ones as a whole lately.
I mean look at Mac jones, horrible injury! His head is clearly not fucking working right!
/s
Ever? No, of course not. It used to be a rarity for a QB to play a season without missing 4+ games, now it's the expectation.
You honestly didn't need to list Daniel Jones.
According to bard:
“The NFL season with the most total minutes missed due to injury by quarterbacks that were designated as the team's Week 1 starter is the 2020 season. In that season, a total of 4,196 minutes were missed by starting quarterbacks due to injury.”
Yes it sucks. I love watching talented QB’s
It is making the season really unwatchable. So much bad play.
Its a horrible year for injuries in general. Chubb, Jefferson, Judon, Barkley, Andrews, Jarrett, Milano, Ramsey, Tredavious White, CJGJ, (Trevon) Diggs, Waller, Mike Williams have all had serious or season ending injuries.
BORTLES!!!!
I can't believe none of them were Tua tbh
Proves that all these pansy roughing the passer calls to protect QBs isn't doing shit but ruining the game.
Thursday night games. More regular season games. Shortened pre-season. All things the NFL did to add $$ but they have increased the injury risk to players including the QB.
Don’t forget the trips to Europe cutting prep and recovery time down by a day half. Jet lag is terrible.
I think, in general, this is kind of a crap year. Don't get me wrong I'm having fun because my team is doing fine, but in general there have just been so many injuries to all positions, down offensive scoring, and a lot more INTs it seems across the board.
And Anthony Richardson
Im not sure
With Watson out, some might consider it the best year for QB injuries ever.
Man it’s crazy, pass attempts are at an all-time high and QBs keep getting hurt, how on earth is this happening?
49s are still using their backup qb from last year too
All 3 of the Niners losses, those teams lost their starting QBs for the season, Geno needs to understand he HAS to lose to the Niners to preserve his season...its just facts, beating the Niners is a curse
Third string*
Probably not. We've had some pretty crazy years in the past for injuries.
You forgot Anthony Richardson
Seems like theres more injuries with all these protect the qb rules.
I think Dan Patrick looked it up a week ago on his show. I think (If I remember correctly) that 65 QBs have taken at least one snap, and 60 QBs had at least 1 pass attempt.
Anthony Richardson. People keep forgetting AR5. If he figures out how to avoid injury next season, watch out.
Don’t forget Jimmy G and Anthony Richardson
You forgot Anthony Richardson
This is nit picking, but didn’t Kyler get hurt last season
QB injuries and FanDuel sponsored refs freed up my weekends
2019 had a lot of QB injuries. Stafford, Ryan, Mahomes, and Brees all missed time. I know there were more but those ones are off the top of my head
Nah, best year
After 25 years of a QB carousel broken up only by Baker, nah man. Par for the course.
So…. who’s next?
All the safety rules for QB protection and they’re getting hurt more than ever.
No idea, but it’s been a brutal year.
I was thinking about how these QB protection rules have made QBs feel more secure than they are putting them in dangerous positions.
Probably not but it’s up there. Last year though we had the record for most different QBs to start a game in a given year.
And what’s most telling to me is that despite the NFL doing their best to prevent these kinds of injuries it just hasn’t helped to fix that problem. .
If this is what it takes for Washington to have a healthy QB for a season, sign me up
Hey, don't forget Bryce Young, he missed a game with an ankle injury ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It might be, I can't remember another this bad.
The worst year was when my qb went down 💅
