The game has gone thru many changes. The rules have been changed to protect these guys . While at the same time a huge part of the game is a running QB. It’s to the point where the “pocket “ guy is almost in the minority. Meanwhile , to counter, the defensive fronts are faster and quicker . So, in reality the new rules only go so far . I’m a Bills fan, I hold my breath when I see Josh go flying thru the air. The one thing he has is size and strength. Once he gets into the open field he’s the biggest guy out there and many times he doles out the punishment like a full back . But leaving the ground used to always be a no no. Now that’s a highlight reel. Some guys maybe more fragile but I doubt it matters because you’re a tough mother just to make it to the NFL. It’s just a violent , fast , dangerous game . Your career can literally be over in a split second . These guys take a beating . Their life expectancy is actually shorter than most people .
