NFL QB Durability/Performance in ‘22 Season

[AquaHawk]

QB durability and performance issues are not unique to Miami this season. Almost half the league is starting a different QB in week 17 compared to who started the season. Only 12 teams have had no change. Finding QBs that are both durable and high performing is obviously not an easy endeavor. Plus, durability does not equate to performance (see Russell Wilson).

Note: Counting Sunday’s game, Tua will have missed 7 NFL games in his first three seasons due to injury.

P = Performance, I = Injury

Team	START SEASON	NOW	P or I
Dolphins	Tagovailoa	Bridgewater	I
Jets	Wilson	White	P
Eagles	Hurts	Minshew	I
Colts	Ryan	Foles	P
Titans	Tannehill	Willis	I
Saints	Winston	Dalton	I/P
Panthers	Mayfield	Darnold	P
Falcons	Mariotta	Ridder	P
Ravens	Jackson	Huntley	I
Steelers	Trubisky	Pickett	P
Browns	Brissett	Watson
Raiders	Carr	Stithem	P
Cardinals	Murray	McSorley	I
49ers	Lance	Purdy	I
Rams	Stafford	Mayfield	I

Teams that had QB change for at least one game due to injury/performance: Texans (P), Commanders (P/I), Patriots (I), Bears (I), Cowboys (I).

Teams with same QB: Chiefs, Bengals, Chargers, Bills, Buccs, Lions, Seahawks, Giants, Jaguars, Packers, Vikings, Broncos

Allen did get hurt but played through it. Couldn’t throw for **** for a month…probably should have sat.

Half those guys were replaced due to performance issues not injuries. And let's be honest guys like Hurts, Murray and Jackson are exposed way more to injuries because of their play styles. Tua cant make it through a full season just as a pocket passer without missing games. But we knew this already when we drafted him and I thought the reward would be worth the risk but thats not the case. what we have folks is Sam Bradford.

Sweet. Another chart that tells us we effing blew the fifth pick in 2020

And Herbert played through a rib injury

So, in all serious.

Because their style of play causes it its OK they miss the same amount or more games then Tua....

But because Tuas a pocket passer, his games missed are different?

I would argue with technology and helmets etc Tua atleast has options to make himself safer

Hurts and Jackson would not be the same QB if they adapted their style.

I'd doesn't matter why they were hurt, if they are hurt every years it's the same

Second season Jackson's ending the regular season injured. Doesn't really matter that he got hurt because of his style.

At the end of the day, Tuas injuries are obviously a concern. But he hasn't really missed significantly more time then some the better QBS playing in this league.

It's kinda why I laugh when I see some wanna move on from Tua because of injuries. Yet Jackson is the FIRST QB they name to replace him.

I guess common sense isn't too common.....

obviously, what it means is that a running QB that gets hurt or injured a coach can say/do "alright no more designed run plays with lamar/Jalen/Murray " or at least limit those plays. Maybe if Hurts/Jackson/Murray stay in the pocket more they don't get injured? We improve our O line and Tua is still getting hurt without designing run plays with him, he's just taking "normal" NFL QB hits and missing games even with a improve pass protection this year.

The way Jackson plays he SHOULD be injured more. The fact that Tua has been injured much more than Jackson in a shorter time frame is very concerning. Btw, I want nothing to do with Jackson either.

 

[FanMarino]

This type of injury and the specific position of Quarterback is now going to get highlighted. Tua basically started this panic button hit rightly or wrongly by the NFL. It's purely on the NFL. They have these lame spotters that i assume are getting paid to spot any 'potential' head trauma shots. These spotters have one job. To focus on a tackle and a player getting thrown down into the turf with his head hitting it. Its not that ******* difficult is it? I do know it's once again our team getting slated with zero proof of any anybody showing that they are putting Tua at risk on purpose.

 

[mrbunglez]

Difference is the offensive line with a lot of these teams. Dolphins line is pretty bad.

Thank you, someone with some common sense. Refreshing.

Well jeez aren't you a little cranky. No need to get personal with your first sentence. Didn't expect that really from yah.

But I'll throw I back at yah.

Common sense isn't really common if you think the only time those QBS run are on designed plays.

They are a different breed brother.

Certain QBs will extend a Play to.find a receiver, other players first instinct is to run when the play breaks down.

Plus, i guess you conveniently missed my point that making Jackson, Hurts or Murray a pocket passer makes them a different QB.

There's not 1 coach who will take Lamar Jackson on his or her team and minimize his rushing ability.

Miami Beats the Bills if Josh Allen doesn't get designed runs. You think McDermott was saying " gee I don't Wanana risk injury, so no designed runs today"

You think Harbaugh is worried about injury on 3rd or 4th and 1 or is he saying he's got Jackson.

You don't have those type of QBS and not utilize their strengths.

But hey.... Common sense am I right?

Josh Allen has proved he can take those hits and be fine. The risk is worth the reward with those guys, same with Jackson who has actual won a MVP and played a full season

Its common sense that the running QB's are more exposed to injuries is all my point and we are trying everything to limit Tua from taking hits and he's still getting injured, like his whole college career.
