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

I’m requesting we wrap Tua in bubble wrap and set him in a quiet corner until week 16 or so.

As a 49ers fan, no. Last year was a nightmare.

Brock Purdy effect. Teams would rather start their shitty rookie than find a competent QB in the open market. This is what happens when being terrible is more valuable than being mediocre.

Clearly we need more roughing the passer penalties.

Is this the first year folks started watching football? Injuries are always going to be part of the game until the NFL decide to completely implement flag football rules. I think that’s why the league office is pushing its players to participate in the 2028 Olympics to see how the ratings are!

Any let’s look at the injuries. A Aron - 40yo qb playing on a shit field. What could go wrong? Cousins - 36yo qb playing on turf who takes a lot of sacks. D Jones - running qb who takes a ton of sacks on a chit field. Watson - another guy who takes a ton of sacks. Burrow - dude has been in the top 10 in getting sack every season he’s played. What amazes me is how Sam Howell is even able to walk with all the sacks he takes.

2 points - pass heavy league = QBs getting sacked more = getting hurt more. Also it’s not just sack, it’s all the hits where the qb just barely got rid of the ball. Also the league has shifted from pocket passers to read option/running qb’s. Again that just means more opportunities to hit the qb. I think eventually the league is going to shift back to emphasizing the rb’s and the run. NFL can change all the rules they want but it’s still at its core a violent sport.

Fortunately Herbert’s injury was just a flesh wound

Daniel Jones' agent working overtime to make sure his name gets included with all the good quarterbacks

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

one day you'll get over the fact you got embarrassed by DJ in the playoffs.

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

The only solace I take in that game is that Ed Donatells historically bad defense tricked giants fans into thinking Jones was good and paying him $80 million over 2 years to not play

"Ha ha I'm in Danger" - Patrick Mahomes

It’s the cost for Tua being healthy all year

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

I do like everybody having think pieces and theories about it but sometimes shit just happens

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

Justin fields will be back and I’m not sure. I thought it’s standard and like QBs are getting excessively hurt from previous years

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

The NFL needs to redo the CBA, and get contact back in practices. OLs are horrendous.

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

Just sweating every play Tua takes any chances.

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

Get ready for next year when players will get suspended for breathing on QBs

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

Time for RBs to get their value back!

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

I’m struggling to explain this to my friends, but I’m kinda getting over this sport. Too many injuries that have too much impact on the results. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching a good game, but it just all seems so random.

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

That’s just sport though, people get injured and it has effects on the team.

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

Sadly, that’s part of all sports

We started a “Last One Standing” pool at work. Everybody paid $1 and picked a QB who is still healthy. At the end of the season, if your QB is still active, you split the pot with whoever still is in.

It’s already doing better than my fantasy team this year 🤦‍♀️

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

But Daniel jones is ass and always will Be booty. Don’t matter if he’s injured He’s a sorry qb

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

Seasons not over yet bubble wrap your Qb.

Makes me really appreciate Eli Never missed a game due to injury Dude was like Gumby

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

Captain Kirk injured really hurts. He was balling when most people wrote the Vikings off.

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

Don’t forget Anthony Richardson.

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

IDK, but DTR about to snatch ROY from Stroud!!

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

No, the 88 season was worst, it seemed like a starter was lost every week even our own formerly indestructible Dave Kreig went down with a seperated shoulder. The NFL were in panic mode at the number of QB's going down as it negatively affected the product. In addition there numerous walking wounded who gutted it through. Ironically to everyone's amazement the perpetually injury prone Jim McMahon wasn't initially on the list but eventually he too succumbed. Sadly the worst was Bernie Kosar who suffered what seemed an innocuous injury to the elbow of his throwing arm and was lost for the season and was never the same again. Go Hawks

I am sorry for the others QB’s getting injured but Deshaun Watson getting hurt is beautiful Karma, I hope he never plays another snap and the Browns have to keep paying him! Scumbag player playing for scumbag ownership.

Last week or two weeks ago when Danny Devi to started a game we reached the record with 10 back ups that have started we need one more I wonder who it’s gonna be

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

Let’s start putting 9-men on the O-line.

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

No, Rodgers was knocked out; even if it was after leaving the Packers.

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

Tannehill too

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

The NFL always has multiple injuries; you’re just noticing them this year because it’s mostly stars
