This argument is just dumb.

So maybe he hasn't been knocked out of a game yet by bad blocking.

But it sucks to see him having to run around and take hard hits, sometimes even against pretty mediocre teams, just to keep drives alive because of bad blocking.

That is not a recipe for a 15+ year career (see Luck).

For sure.

Nobody is saying he can't get hurt. He absolutely can. And it definitely could happen because of bad line play. It could also happen for any number of reasons not related to line play.

Guys get hurt. It can happen.

But to act like it WILL happen is just another example of the stupid defeatist attitude that infects this place, especially after a loss.
