It just seems very risky and dangerous. Imagine RG3 cutting real quick to change directions to try and cover a receiver, and he blows out his knee again, or worse. Have no idea why a guy who is an injury concern would even be placed in that situation...

Dude you gotta chill, even guys who have never been injured before run the risk of injury on routine plays. It's a part of the game. Torn ACL's have happened by slipping on the grass.

Supposedly the final incident that ended Lavar Arrington's NFL career was him slipping on some wet grass, landing hard - and knowing that he was seriously injured right away. He has talked about it on the radio before. The giants wanted him to have surgery and try and come back, but he told his wife he was done...

If I remember correctly that achilles cost him the whole season. He was as dependable as they come before that too.

There is no movement like that, like almost literally zero. This is

"RG3 you stand here"

"Ok guys, this is where the safety lines up when the Dolphins are in this formation"

"OK RG, now walk over here"

"Guys, pay attention. Notice where he's positioned here. Don't let that fool you"

And so on

That's what the 3rd string QB does

Thats actually good to hear. I was assuming that they would run some plays just with no contact.

So you're saying he's a very expensive paper weight?
