The majority of teams' QBs definitely do not get hurt. He said "majority".

Let's see, in 2021 the following starters missed games due to injury or COVID. I'm not counting sitting out due to playoff position at the end of the season. 

-----

Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles): 1 game

Kirk Cousins (Minnesota Vikings): 1 game

Jimmy Garoppolo (San Francisco 49ers): 2 games

Teddy Bridgewater (Denver Broncos): 3 games

Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals): 3 games

Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks): 3 games

Jared Goff (Detroit Lions): 3 games

Zack Wilson (New York Jets): 3 games

Baker Mayfield (Cleveland Browns): 3 games

Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins): 4 games

Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens): 5 games

Sam Darnold (Carolina Panthers): 5 games

Daniel Jones (New York Giants): 6 games

Jameis Winston (New Orleans Saints): 10 games

There were 2 teams that had a dual QB situation. Houston with Davis Mills and Tyrod Taylor, Chicago with Andy Dalton and Justin Fields. Both teams had their starter also miss time due to injury, whichever you consider the starter. 

The other 16 teams had their starter play the entire season.

----

So as you can see, there were 14 to 16 starting QBs missed games in 2021. I don't fault Matt Rhule for the comment after looking through the data. Around half the league's starting QB's missed time last year, including the two top QB's on the Panthers this season. I think it's very likely we will see Darnold start at least a game or two this season unfortunately.

Sounds like you need to go lecture the clowns who had a pointless QB battle that lasted all the way until today. 

Baker has had one preseason drive and it included a botched snap with whoever at C with an OL he may or may not be playing together come week 1.  This should of been done in Spartanburg. 

correct and easy, isn’t obvious with Matt Rhule.  Hence why this thread has to exist. 

Again, it sounds like the only person the "pointless QB battle" fooled was you.  I can think Matt Rhule makes questionable decisions and still think that Matt Rhule isn't going to cut Brian Burns tomorrow.  But somehow I wouldn't be surprised if you started making that claim lol.

I mean, your projection game needs work in all honestly.

Cleveland is the 216 area code .. Cavs won it all in 2016 .. Indians win AL in 2016

Baker faces former team Cleveland 216 days from his birthday .. or 7 months 4 days .. this is CLE's 74th season .. CLE opening 74th season in the 704 .. perfect scripts

I can only assume you don't understand what the word "projection" means cause that literally made zero sense.

How many people think Rhule is dumb and a bad coach and makes horrible decisions? Probably >85% of these boards.

How many people predicted Matt Rhule was going to start Sam Darnold Week 1? Just you.

It's okay to admit you have silly takes sometimes lol.  Even your like-minded compatriots didn't wanna touch that one.

"The reality of this league is most teams will play multiple quarterbacks."

What in the fug is this 🤡 talking about?

I mean he's not wrong, 21 different teams last year started at least 2 QBs, every single team "played" multiple QBs. Granted a couple of those may have been guys sitting out the last game intentionally. But odds are your backup will have to see some time. Still don't understand people getting upset over coachspeak like this.

I mean, this is no longer fun buddy.  I knocked your projection game for the painfully bad Brian Burns remark.    That's not where Rhule gets in his own way and the decisions he mindboggling struggles with.  Nor how I knock him.  He knows CMC is good.  He knows DJ is good.  He knows Burns is good.  He can figure out the super studs.    You ever heard me claim Rhule couldn't figure that out?  Nah.  

Rhule struggles w/ the tiers of players that fall under superstar.  The Teddy B tier.  The Sam Darnold tier.  The Baker tier.   The PJ tier.    That's probably 3 different tiers of players those 4 fall in.  Maybe 2.  

I predicted Rhule would do something dumb with players that fell in some of those tiers.  I might of guessed wrong but it was rooted in Matt Rhule's tenure as a HC.  

Silly, is your stance that Matt Rhule shouldn't be doubted and questioned.   Again, the bar is on the ground and I concede he thankfully walked over it.   Maybe he can keep baby stepping and dig himself out of the hole he rightfully should be viewed in currently.

Matt Rhule could say all the stupid poo he wanted if he won games and no one would care.

True.   

I'm a Clemson fan.  You think Dabo's nonsense would come off well if we wasn't on some massive great run?  Clemson fans would tire real quick if Clemson was winning 6 games each season under him lol. 

But he wins 10 games every year and has Clemson competing for Nattys.  So it's funny and we laugh that it pisses others off.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
