The fact is they don't. I will take 10 hits I see over 1 I don't. In the spread you almost always see it coming.
Now I will give you that TRADITIONAL QBs get hurt more often when they try to run... but those aren't the type of QBs I am talking about. I am talking about QBs built to run the ball and who know how to take hits. Not you Palmer's or Leinharts but your Youngs and Brees.

I haven't said anything about running. You are inventing an argument. Thigpen wasn't getting hit more because he was running. He was getting hit more because the D knew they were passing on every down.
Furthermore, you are basing your entire argument on something that is unprovable. The fact that getting a blindside hit is 10 times as bad as getting knocked on your ass when you see it coming.
And explain to me why you see it coming in the spread. As soon as you turn to make your first read, you've cut your field of vision in half. You can't throw when your body is parallel to the line of scrimmage unless you are a girl.
QBs in the spread don't take big hits eh?
Like Ben, who got a severe concussion, ****ed his shoulder, and broke his ribs this year?
