Ok stop acting like the spread doesn't risk your QB then.

I am not acting like it won't.. I am SAYING until I see DATA showing that a QB is more likely to be injured from a spread formation..I will WITHHOLD JUDGEMENT.
And anyone who doesn't have said data... shouldn't be forming opinion based on hunches. It is amazing how many assumptions scatter under the light of FACT. |

I know, I know. You didn't "say" that. You only implied it through your argument, because spread quarterbacks still have to have proper fundamentals when they throw the football. Namely, you need your lead shoulder and plant foot to face the direction in which you throwing. You can't stand parallel to the line of scrimmage and throw the football. That's why I posted the above Roethlisberger clip. QBs get creamed just as often in the spread as they do in any other formation, and they get hit more overall. Look at this spread QB, and all the patty cake taps he takes:

![]() ...and that wasn't what I was implying. Either way, the argument stands, I am not going to accept that the spread is more injury prone than any other offense until I see some figures to back it up. I know it is a commonly held ASSUMPTION. |
