I've been curious about this for a while now. Some of you like looking up stats and I really don't care to.

The NFL has continuously changed the rules to protect the QB. I wonder if the stats show that this is working.
How many QBs have been injured decade by decade. Say starting in the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and 2000-9.
Would be interesting to find out.

Cutler out with a concussion. 9 sacs in the first half. Then the back-up gets knocked out too.

Thanks for the page. Couldn't find what I was looking for though.

I'm sure there's a way to find it. It would take some work though.

You'd have to navigate each team's page over every decade and note the missing starts from their starting QB...that'd at least give you a rough idea.

Have fun with that, though...

I think the problem is the equipment I mean they protect, but hard composites and plastics hitting a body is like a knight in armor running full force at another, and BAM.

Yeah if there is padding no one recieves broken bones, but the collision cause's a BUNCH of concusions.

I would rather suffer a broken nose occasionally, then being laid up with repeated concusions, caused by basically body armor.

Perfere the softer more absorbant leather.

Heck with the invention of Kevlar, and neofoam, and all the other goodies why still use the hard plastics?
