Just seeing Joe Burrow’s out for the year now and it’s been brutal. How many backup QBs have started games? Is it a NFL modern record?

Aaron Rodgers out for year Kirk Cousins out for year Daniel Jones out for year Deshaun Watson out for year Joe Burrow out for year

Not to mention Justin Fields, Matt Stafford, Kyler Murray, etc. who have been banged up

First time watching the NFL?

This has been a really bad year when I really try to think about it. The worst that comes to recent memory.

Lions with Hooker, Bridgewater, and Goff are looking wealthy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It is making the season really unwatchable. So much bad play.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

BORTLES!!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I can't believe none of them were Tua tbh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Proves that all these pansy roughing the passer calls to protect QBs isn't doing shit but ruining the game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And Anthony Richardson

Shorts man is also playing with a hurt shoulder.

Im not sure

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

With Watson out, some might consider it the best year for QB injuries ever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Probably not. We've had some pretty crazy years in the past for injuries.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You forgot Anthony Richardson

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Seems like theres more injuries with all these protect the qb rules.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Don’t forget Jimmy G and Anthony Richardson

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You forgot Anthony Richardson

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is nit picking, but didn’t Kyler get hurt last season

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

QB injuries and FanDuel sponsored refs freed up my weekends

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nah, best year

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Aaron Rodgers out for year

You sure about that, bud?

After 25 years of a QB carousel broken up only by Baker, nah man. Par for the course.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

So…. who’s next?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

All the safety rules for QB protection and they’re getting hurt more than ever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No idea, but it’s been a brutal year.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I was thinking about how these QB protection rules have made QBs feel more secure than they are putting them in dangerous positions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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. .

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If this is what it takes for Washington to have a healthy QB for a season, sign me up

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hey, don't forget Bryce Young, he missed a game with an ankle injury ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It might be, I can't remember another this bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The worst year was when my qb went down 💅
