The Washington Post wrote an article about how the National Football League has a quarterback problem.
Meaning, that they get hurt. A lot. And they're also the most important player on the team.
So apparently Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, and Nick Foles all got hurt, and some of the other quarterbacks have quit (Andrew Luck) or don't look like they used to look, athletically (Cam Newton). All because they get hurt and got hurt. A lot.
Here's the article about that.
The NFL has a quarterbacks problem; it needs to figure out how to better protect them
Yet seriously, what could they do to better protect them?
"It’s too reactionary to suggest that such quarterback trepidation will become the norm soon, but the position is changing. So is acceptance of that change. It leaves the NFL teeming with intriguing possibilities and greater risk at quarterback. And that’s just the nature of football."
So that's not much. One thing I thought of was a greater use of backup quarterbacks when a game is locked up, win or loss. That would save some wear and tear.
