Kudos to the Ravens for building an offense around him to allow him to shine. No chance the Bengals or most NFL teams would ever do that. His long term health is still a question mark. The hits will come.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this notion that a running QB is going to get hurt is a bit outdated. Every year the NFL passes more rules to protect QB's. If they get hit in the legs at all it's potentially a foul, that makes it very easy for the right type of player to break tackles & make big plays. Would not surprise me to see a QB option-styled offense in the NFL again if this trend continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they take off they are suppose to be fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, they flagged a Detroit Lion corner just for diving while trying to intercept a Brett Favre errr Aaron Rodgers pass. That said, I saw Lamar Jackson take a few wicked shots last year trying to get an extra yard or two. There were no flags. He has been a little more intelligent this year.

Not talking about slides. Talking about running QBs. Jackson out there running. If you have watched the Panthers much over the past 5 years you would say they often don't get flagged when they hit Newton. There are a whole litany of head hits on Newton as a runner that didn't get flagged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL has a certain list of guys they want to protect & then it's open season on everyone else to make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
