Anthony Richardson is your 1.01 now

Cam protected himself much better than Richardson…and he was broken by age 28-29. Richardson is an exciting fantasy player, but he’s going to be perpetually injured…and good defenses will squash him like any other running QB. You have no other choice but to hold…but I’d be looking to sell in about 4 years, and you need a good plan B

I love Richardson but I'm leaning this way too. I'll wait til he has a few consecutive big weeks and start shooting off some offers for Justin Herbert.

On the flipside, Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts have been just fine. Hurts runs 8-9 times a game and Allen runs 6-7. It really just comes down to protecting yourself and being smarter with your runs.

Why can't everyone be like the muscular Kirk Cousins and never miss games?

[Dynasty DeLorean]

I feel like most of the hits he’s taking, other QBs take. He’s either made of glass or incredibly unfortunate.

IDK, no QB smashes the back of their head on the turf and doesn't go into concussion protocol. The way he landed on his shoulder, most QB's are going to go out, on that, too.

The issue is, he's taking these hits. His concussion, he let up as he was going into the EZ, and the defender didn't slow up, and knocked him off balance, I think has he not let up, he likely wouldn't have been concussed, but nonetheless, once your head hits the turf like that, literally every QB is going to go into protocol at this stage.

Then you need to rewatch. His concussion missed game came from him pulling up at the two yard line and not finishing the play. He isn't used to the NFL level of violence and is used to being able to take the hits without issue. He hasn't learned to be smart yet.

[Dynasty DeLorean]

Yeah, I guess what I meant is I’ve seen that play a hundred times, and usually whoever gets pushed in the end zone falls in a way to not take a concussion. So sure that could be on ARich. I’ve seen other players kind of “relax” the same way he did and take the same hit but end up fine. I guess that’s what I meant. My point was that most of this stuff I’ve seen other players do, so I don’t know if the narrative that ARich is putting himself in bad situations is warranted. But maybe like you said he’s not preparing himself properly once in those situations

Again:

Played only one season of College Ball because he was injured the whole rest of the time.

Hamstrings, a miniscus tear, and concussions: it's all been there in front of us, the whole time.

He had 1 concussion in college. It's not like it's a Tua length list, but clearly it's concerning. He needs to learn how to avoid hits, or he may have a short career.

He had a hamstring strain, and a meniscal tear that actually orginated in HS, and wasn't fixed, so it got worse. I've seen injury lists quite a bit worse than this, coming out of college.

Have you, though? I'm sure there are longer ones, but think it through.

Your Devils advocate:

This man only played in 13 games as a college starter. Started one single college game in 2021 as the backup to Emory Jones. Played all 12 games in 2022.

Our current data sample:

13 College Starts
4 NFL Starts

17 games total played:

1x Grade 2 Hamstring
1x Miniscus Tear
2x Grade 1 Concussions
1x Shoulder AC Joint Sprain

Good sirs... I am positing to you: this man's injuries sustained on a per-game basis are begining to suggest... that maybe, just *maybe*...

The big man is just a little bit injury prone.

The truth might hurt

Yeah, I have, I just said that. I didn't mention his injuries in the pros, and I'm pretty sure I said he'll have to learn how to avoid taking hits or he'll have a short career.

Cool man, sweet, just checking.

Good talk.
