Tua or burrow ?
Considering it’s the second of 4 seasons burrows finishes on IR ?
 
Burrow has no offensive line and holds the ball a little longer than Tua.

But let's look at recent injuries less Tua.

Murray
Dak
Watson
Tannehill
Rodgers
Richardson
Cousins
and on it goes

Tua has not had a season-ending injury if the Dolphins made it to the AFC champ or Superbowl last year he would have played.
Tua is no more injury-prone than these starting QBS. Injuries to QBs are just a natural part of the game. I am more concerned if he has the talent to be great and we learn how to protect him like the Pats did for Brady. Brady had the best OL coach in NFL history which is why he was able to reach Goat-like status.

Well, one things for sure, don't hold breath to see anyone in the media dare call Burrow injury prone.

Tua is too short...Has better winning % to start career then most, if not all the top QBs.

Tua has no arm...Leads league again air yardage passed.

Tua is not a franchise QB...2nd year in a row where he is Battling for highest QB rating.

Tua is more injury prone then Burrow...Right.

Can't wait to see what else Tua can't do.
 
I wish I could speak three languages. Good for you, Duss.

I think time will tell. Right now, the injury prone narrative is fair for both Tua and Burrow.

When healthy, I think the two are in the conversation for second best quarterback in the NFL after Mahomes.

That's where you have to give credit to Allen. Being durable is tough in this league and, so far, Allen has been that.

It's one of the best traits Tom Brady had.

I hope both Tua and Burrow have long careers, but hard to bet on it. I think Burrow holds onto the ball too long at times. Tua is definitely getting rid of the ball quickly and not taking many hits.

Maybe his judo training will help, too.

IMO Brady's release and play style contributed to his durability as much or more than his OL talent (also his exceptional off-season training). I think that Tua's health this season and going forward will depend largely on his willingness to to check down when the situation warrants it and his continued off-season dedication. As Manning always said (another similar style QB), 'you never go broke taking a profit'. I believe that play style and off-season training are far more relevant to injury rates than size or being 'injury prone'.

I thought Burrow was at his best when he was checking down to his RBs and TEs. Buffalo had no answer. I hope Tua can take advantage of the attention Hill and Waddle draw and use those other targets to similarly frustrate great defenses like Buffalo. Still take his shots downfield when the defense gambles, but go into the game planning to kill them with a million cuts with that surgical accuracy.
 
Now you hear Tua only wins because he has Hill at wr and McDaniel's offense. While the numbers show he's 14-8 since Hill and McDaniel arrived and he was 13-8 before. Sure he's a better qb when he has better weapons, but that's true for any qb. Most young qbs with poor to average weapons are going to give you poor to average stats.

Only 1 sure way to get that, and all the other BS narratives to halt...and it involves a game in February, on a neutral field.
 
I'm not sure, it might be too close to call. But Burrow does smoke more cigars, so he's increasing his chance of one injury over Tua.

But we all know the only way to find out is....

This season is not over yet, let's not jinx anything. Tua is doing well protecting himself getting rid of the ball fast, learning how to fall and surrendering himself to prevent big hits when the play is done.
 
Seems to be a confusion of issues in here.

The question was about the moniker of "injury prone" correct?
