Labeling him as injury-prone may be one of your most outlandish takes to date

I don’t see how a guy is injury-prone after missing only 5 games of his rookie year
any takes you don't agree with are always outlandish.

For the record , I hope he stays healthy. I do have some props with the Bengals and Joe

Not true. I’m good with any disagreements that are logical

But that’s just the objective truth. Zero missed games since rookie year . Calling him injury-prone is bizarre. He doesn’t miss games

Mahomes, Allen, and Herbert have all seemed to be more dinged up than him during the actual season, so why aren’t they labeled as injury prone?

Have those 3 missed any games ? Why can't we count the rookie season missed games ? What does dinged up have to do with anything ? Did they play ? Mayber Favre was injury prone with your logic.. ..talk about bizzare.

Why? I hope Burrow never plays a preseason snap for the rest of his career.

No reason to
Why not stop practicing to .
What’s the point of never playing preseason ?
Are you going to say because he can get hurt?

do you realize more players get hurt in practice during preseason then the games.

Do you suggest they stop practicing to ?

The point is by your logic you could label anyone as injury-prone. I wouldn't label those guys as injury-prone either

Why would you count the singular stretch of his career where he missed a few games as injury-prone?

How many games has be missed the last couple of years?

And he's not going to miss any games from this very minor calf injury

Because in practice quarterbacks aren't getting hit

I am talking about quarterbacks

Non-contact injuries can happen, sure, but way less risky for QB's when they aren't allowed to get touched

Last year I pointed out Justin Herbert's shoulder injury and that he was playing hurt, he found out that it was his left shoulder and mocked me for that.

He did not understand enough about football to know that a left shoulder injury definitely hinders, negatively affects a right handed quarterback, and I cited recent examples of Mayfield and Trubisky who both played a few years like that and probably should not have tried.

Do not dare say Herbert is as good as Lord Burrow!

Tua, Stafford, Taylor ,Murray , Mariota, Jimmy G , Mayfield, Lance, Wilson and Bridgewater all less durable.

Stafford is glass basically

And yet Red would say Burrow is more injury prone than Herbert so that kind of defeats your point

You also said it was his throwing shoulder, so I mocked you when I found out it was not (you apparently didn’t know what shoulder it was either)

Burrow is one of the most durable quarterbacks in the league by any objective observation

Lot of others guys you didn’t mention have had more issues

He has had a torn ACL/MCL and now a bad calf strain when just rolling out in his short career, and other dings, so it looks like he might be vulnerable to future injuries.

He's consider a high risk guy at least if you look at what fantasy football guys think.
These fantasy sites have some crazy stats....even career injury stats
Stafford of instance has had 20 separate injuries that have caused missed time...
I'm not a fantasy player in any way .

I DEFINITELY did not say it was his throwing shoulder, I assumed you knew if was his left, and you did not know.

Over the years I had commented about Trubisky and Mayfield looking bad with their bad left shoulders and that they probably should not have played, career wise.

Tom Brady tore his ACL and missed an entire season in the middle of his career. Did that make him injury-prone?

Bad calf strain? He’s literally missing ZERO games from it.

Zero missed games since his rookie season.

Geno Smith stat wise #1 in durability..only because he has played very little given length of his career...(for starters in the NFL)
