Agree?

No. Wilson and Kapaernick didn't get hurt last season, and RG3 was only hurt on scrambling, not designed runs. But we all know this already.

He should worry about his own house and how Stafford stunk up the joint last season.

This is more like it.

When you start seeing NFL coaches come out and say this will get players hurt, I will admit it starts to worry me some. These guys know the game better than anyone. Maybe they r right? Maybe these guys will get hurt, QBs are not RBS they can't take that physical abuse constantly.

Yeah, it worries me some too. RG3 unquestionably has tons of talent, but I've wondered if he'll turn out like Michael Vick. Spectacular when on the field, but has trouble keeping healthy.

But like I said in my previous post, Kaepernick and Wilson didn't get hurt, but RG3 did. Why is that? Because RG3 hasn't learned to slide when he needs to, he hasn't learned to get of bounds properly, and he takes too many chances. You're right, these QBs aren't RBs, and they can't take abuse like RBs; that's why they need to avoid the abuse. RG3 is a good quarterback; he's not one of these run-first QBs(Pat White), and he can stay in the pocket and do some major damage through the air. He just needs to protect himself better when running. My .
