Should I be?
Because right now, I'm not.
Why?
Because he's the QB.
And the QB hardly ever gets touched when compared to other players who get touched, knocked around and are in contact on way way more plays then the QB.
(The only exception to this are the kickers. Yay Mason! Ya got your mojo back!)
Yeah, I know. The old fart is 40. And there are QBs who have had carrer or season ending injuries. (Joe Theisman, Tom Brady)
But the QB gets protection on every pass attempt and on every hand off he steps away while the runner gets hit.
And aren't there other QBs who have started and played every game from their first one to their last?
I would be more impressed by another player who gets roughed up on every play every Sunday.
Your thoughts? Discuss?
