Up next: SALUKI Week!

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

Found one!

Turns out you are going just off of opinion Jay, not fact.

The article is talking about Denard Robinson, who I'm sure Jay said is bound to go down with a major injury at some point this season.

Conclusion

You can be a mobile quarterback and get a lot of carries without being sidelined with injuries. It does not matter what conference you play in. Mobile QBs will get dinged up in a similar fashion to running backs but there is no reason to believe because a mobile QB carries the ball a lot he will fall victim to massive injuries and die.

It is also of note that a QB who is mobile is less likely to be injured as seriously as a pocket passer. Pocket passers are prone to injuries, especially on blitzes where they do not see the hit coming, get taken out at the legs, or are not mobile enough to elude a blitz. Mobile QBs get out in space, and are able to elude blitzes, take more head-on hits, but are less prone to devastating blind-side hits that plague pocket passers.

I'd like a stat to prove that one. Seriously I would.

considering the fact that stat programs don't break it down by which players play which series, that stat is impossible to calculate.

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

So you are saying you have ZERO proof that running QB's get hurt more than pocket QB's?

It seems that while Rennie and Carlos are small they rarely take the big hit because of their speed and shiftiness.

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

Jay - I agree with you and stated it yesterday. Rennie will sit out a few more series this fall due to injury. He went out (as anyone would) after the pile drive. He had to go out again last Saturday. Late in the second half almost everytime he stood up, he'd be favoring one leg over the other. Our bye week is over. He will not make it another 6 games without some type of injury.

That being said, I really admire his ability to fight through whatever pain he has/had. It will take a lot to keep him out of a game....

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

He's had to leave, at least temporarily, either 3 or 4 of our first 5 games. So there may not be any stats on mobile vs. pocket qbs, but it's a pretty safe bet our mobile qb will have to leave some more games this year. No one said he was going to get killed or seriously injured. He's our primary running back and it's pretty common for the primary running back to get dinged up a bit and have to leave the game for a series or more.

So if the coaches have decided to go with Rennie all the way from here on out, and I hope they have, it doesn't mean Davis is never going to see the field again, he almost certainly is.

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

Lets just hope that when they do it is for a end of half hail mary, or a stretch play to carlos, or a halfback pass or something.

...and let's hope the receivers try to catch the ball with their hands and not their chest.

You need to go to the doctor and get something to help you calm the hell down. Why do you feel the need to be so confrontational all the time?

Yeah 83 tends to throw a temper tantrum anytime anybody disagrees with him. Also, he knows everything about football and it surprises me that none of the 32 NFL teams have inquired about his services...

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

And I wouldn't say it was 100% successful for them either. If I remember correctly it kind of killed some their momentum and allowed us some defensive stops. It seemed and let us back into the game. That and our offense really kicked into gear in the 2nd half.

It wasn't and the 2 QB thing is a sore spot down here too. However, I'm happy with both getting reps because we haven't had a healthy starting QB for the playoffs the past two seasons.

From my side: Rennie is your man, but you gotta roll him out, I think he was having some problem seeing out of the pocket. His arm was exposed on the deep stuff, but he was much harder to defend than Davis.

The OT play calling wasn't wrong, a wide open 1st down pass, nice call, was dropped by the receiver. From there the defense dictated.

The FB was very good but nobody here mentioned the play of Boothby. I heard his name all night.

Believe me, there are several mentions about him on this site in regards to some of his accomplishments that make Chuck Norris jealous...
