Quote:Mariota looks kind of scrawny. Could he be injury prone similar to Teddy Bridgewater? Is he one bad sack from a career ender?
Are you kidding me? All QBs can be one sack away from a career ender. The most injury-prone starting QB I have seen is Ben Roethlisberger. It is ridiculous to just look at a QB and say he is injury prone based on his body type, size, etc. It's true that smaller guys are more likely to get hurt when they are tackled by bigger players, but anyone who has been watching football for years knows there is nothing simple about anybody's injury risk.

RG3.
Roethlisberger is the most resilient, most durable. Not most injury prone.

Ben hasnt been the most durable recently, so im not sure you know either.

He's 35 and been sacked over 120 more times than any other qb in the game. He's the definition of durable even though he's at the end.

It was clearly a serious injury when they went and got the air splints, the cart came on the field, and Mariota started punching the turf. Those concerns were confirmed when they carted him right out to a waiting ambulance instead of going to the medical facilities in the stadium.
I haven't seen the video yet, but I understand it's pretty ugly.
Here's to a speedy and full recovery, even though this is the stinking tacks QB we're talking about.
Disagree. A blatant cheap shot by a stinking tack essentially ended the career of Manowai. I hope a Jag snaps those peg legs every season until he retires. Payback is hell.

"I hope someone breaks his legs every season because a couple of players neither of which he knows at all, were involved in an injury 9 years ago and im still mad about it"
Also his name is ManUwai, not manowai. And he'd probably spit on you if you said this out loud to him.
I'm glad I ignore Dakota's posts. Wanting an enemy to suffer an extremely painful long-term injury that requires surgery to fix is pure evil.

I respect Dakota. And ya have no idea what he is talking about.
Because your too new to the board.

Back to Marcus Mariota, I watched the video again and yes, it was ugly. Unfortunately it looks like Mariota could have avoided the injury because his right foot was in the wrong position when Sheldon Day hit him.
