That's not what I'm saying. What im saying is pocket passers get injured all the time because injury luck is random. 

The number of injuries on designed QB runs is extremely low, which is mostly what Lamar does, and when he scrambles it usually ends in a slide or going out of bounds

Even if he suffers injuries, Lamar will regress from like a 99th percentile athlete to like a 70th. 

The only thing making him immobile is an Alex Smith type injury which would end most careers

It's a good thing Matt Stafford, Nick Foles and Drew Brees don't run. They are extremely safe from injury in the pocket

The same injury that turned RG3 from an unstoppable runner into a nobody.  While not the career ender that was RG3, our own boy Mark Brunell was never the same after his amazing 96 season followed by a ligament tear in the 1997 preseason.  Still can picture that Giants player diving low at his knee while planting to throw.

I will say though the way the league is protecting QBs at all costs, even when they are outside the pocket and acting as a runner, you have to think the risk of injury is nowhere near as high as it was in previous era's.
