I dont know any quarterback in the league that doesnt get killed on a weekly basis. I watched Tom Brady in the first superbowl against the giants get planted into the ground on the biggest stage like i have never seen anyone get planted into the ground. I watch J Cutler and Michael Vick get Destroyed every time they play practically. I watched Aaron Rodgers get killed tonite and on many occasions. people think because RG3 runs that his hits are worse - i dont know - the worst hit to me that could occur is when your standing in the pocket and get blindsided and that wont happen often with a mobile qb like RG-3. any qb can have his career/season/game ended at any time - RG-3 is at no more a risk than any other qb playing the game today.
He also knows when to throw it away, run out of bounds, and slide for the most part - unlike Mike Vick - that is why Vick gets hurt all the time. Hes a tough kid too - everyone is different - look at Eli - its not like he isnt getting hit hard - hes just a tough kid and has had alot of luck on his side when it comes to the injury bug - we will see how RG-3s body cooperates with him as his career moves on, but as far as being mentally tough enough to handle the hits i think he has already proved he has that.
