During the regular season, do you want your QB to go and try make a tackle after an interception or not? (alien.top)

JT O'Sullivan took huge issue over Carr not even trying to make a tackle despite injury around 25 minutes into the video. He says O-linemen see that and get pissed off. How do you feel personally?

Can think of at least a handful of current NFL QBs who got injured that way:

Herbert fractured finger 4 weeks ago
Mayfield torn labrum in 2021
Dalton fractured thumb in 2015

If you’re a fringe QB then yeah probably worth putting in the effort to help the team win but if you’re even an average league starter, potentially stopping a bigger return is not worth the really high injury risk and the lost value of you missing time with injury.

Cutler broke his thumb when we were like 7-1 years back

Agreed as a chiefs fan I don’t want Mahomes doing anymore than a shove out of bounds.
