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
You forgot Anthony Richardson
Fortunately Herbert’s injury was just a flesh wound
Brock Purdy effect. Teams would rather start their shitty rookie than find a competent QB in the open market. This is what happens when being terrible is more valuable than being mediocre.
You mean “cost efficient at the most expensive spot on the team”, looks like. I’m not even a SF fan, but Kyle Shanahan, is one of the 3-4 most important people in the league.
It’s Bill Walsh all over again. Does anyone remember the 49er’s before Walsh?
He was a visionary, and made a mid tier qb in Montana, and an absolute beast who went to a small school, Rice into the best offensive duo in NFL history.
I think fans always focus on the players, but the longer I watch this game, it really is the coaching that matters. Why did Brady drop to the sixth round. Nothing remarkable about him at all, but he found a great system and played for possibly the best coach in NFL history.
Injuries are a part of the game. Next year, there will probably be less at the QB position. Plus, more youth comes into the league and old guys age out every year.
You are seeing forward thinking coaches like A Smith for Atlanta that has an advanced running scheme. Ofc, he’s got other issues, but his schemes seem to be good.
It’s cyclical. If you want better results, hire innovative coaches.
My husband and I were just talking about this. It’s quite a shame!
QB injuries and FanDuel sponsored refs freed up my weekends
Nah, best year
But Daniel jones is ass and always will Be booty. Don’t matter if he’s injured He’s a sorry qb
We started a “Last One Standing” pool at work. Everybody paid $1 and picked a QB who is still healthy. At the end of the season, if your QB is still active, you split the pot with whoever still is in.
It’s already doing better than my fantasy team this year 🤦♀️
Just sweating every play Tua takes any chances.
I’m struggling to explain this to my friends, but I’m kinda getting over this sport. Too many injuries that have too much impact on the results. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching a good game, but it just all seems so random.
That’s just sport though, people get injured and it has effects on the team.
Sadly, that’s part of all sports
Is it though? Not many team sports have such dedicated positions. Lose your starting left guard? Or your tight end? You’re fucked. I’m not even talking QB. There are only a small number of backups for each role.
Also, in other sports you don’t see season ending injuries on what seems like every single game day.
Aaron Rodgers out for year
You sure about that, bud?
Yes. He isn’t coming back lol. Rodgers is always all talk
Give him your doubts, give him your prognostications…. Give him everything that you think is going to happen…. and watch what he can do
Time for RBs to get their value back!
You know who hasn’t been hurt this year?
Don’t even say it
I didn’t
Tua
lamar actually
Lol
Seasons not over yet bubble wrap your Qb.
Makes me really appreciate Eli Never missed a game due to injury Dude was like Gumby
