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

Looks like there need to be more Jiu Jitsu classes this season...but no really im grateful that so far the Dolphins have been able to protect Tua and he's been able to protect himself this year and hope it continues especially after all the head jokes and criticism this reddit and others on social media and tv threw at us. I understand what it feels like for your teams QB to be taken out and how hopeless the rest of the season feels and empathize.

49s are still using their backup qb from last year too

What is the postseason if not excessively early pre-season?

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

[–] JaydedXoX@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (5 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.

[–] CheekyDupe@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thursday night games should not be a thing. Never should have.

[–] LowlandLightening@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Exactly- the only thing I need to know about TNF is that if there were numbers showing injury increase they would be ALL OVER every time a major players gets hurt on TNF. But instead it’s just radio silence with the actual numbers.

[–] LowlandLightening@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Just rolling out “increased injury risk” and listing things doesn’t mean it’s true.

The 17th game certainly adds injury risk by volume but the real two things at play have always been at play 1) NFL football games are just insanely hard on bodies 2) recency bias, we forget the last injuries once their present impact is over.

First time watching the NFL?

[–] sannomiyanights@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I can't believe none of them were Tua tbh

[–] CabbageStockExchange@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Feels like there’s more injuries and more serious ones as a whole lately.

[–] 90swasbest@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] ThePlatanoKing@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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.

[–] jwood958@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You forgot Anthony Richardson

[–] iversonAI@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Im not sure

[–] Free_Tea_1980@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] MonkeyBrain4666@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] mspstsmich@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

Anthony Richardson. People keep forgetting AR5. If he figures out how to avoid injury next season, watch out.

[–] LeadSledPoodle@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You honestly didn't need to list Daniel Jones.

[–] allergic2URbullshit@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Beawake23@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yes it sucks. I love watching talented QB’s

Man it’s crazy, pass attempts are at an all-time high and QBs keep getting hurt, how on earth is this happening?

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.”

[–] TBDC88@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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.

[–] MusicalDeath9991@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] afig24@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] BitternessAndBleach@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Shorts man is also playing with a hurt shoulder.

And Anthony Richardson

[–] JebbAnonymous@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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.

Don’t forget Jimmy G and Anthony Richardson

[–] ITGardner@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

BORTLES!!!!

[–] SyncRacket@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I mean look at Mac jones, horrible injury! His head is clearly not fucking working right!

/s

[–] Folk-Herro@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It’s the cost for Tua being healthy all year

[–] StraightCashHomey13@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

Fortunately Herbert’s injury was just a flesh wound

[–] Dimethyl_Sulfoxide@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You forgot lamar

[–] Inner_Ad6363@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

My husband and I were just talking about this. It’s quite a shame!

[–] FudgeDangerous2086@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

No, last year was. 66 backups. We’re around 45 rn

[–] DEFINITELY_NOT_PETE@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lol Daniel Jones out for the year oh noooooooo our elite quarterbacks lmfao

[–] printergumlight@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] captainjizzpants@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] RobynStellarxx@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So…. who’s next?

[–] MoMac77@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] CrookGG@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You forgot Anthony Richardson

[–] Helmett-13@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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