That makes no sense to think otherwise.

I have no idea what we are arguing about here. Im not saying that if Alex runs more he is going to take less hits. Im saying that you can get injured the same way, and on most passing plays, the qb ends up in the dirt anyways. So, I don't think it really matters. Of course if he is running the ball on the option, his chances go up. But, I also think when running the ball, you have a better chance to protect yourself, or give yourself up, rather than if you are in the pocket, and get destroyed from your blind side.
