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.

The reason RG3 stopped being a starting QB isn't becuase he became immobile. Rather he never got the mental side of the game down , and Brunell the athlete is not really comparable to Lamar the athlete. 

And yeah the hits he's taken are minimal, he's mostly sliding , going out of bounds or in full control of his fall

The thing you've got to think about, the better Jackson does, the more he embarrasses D's, the more they are waiting for that moment to take his head off. I hope he has a healthy career but it can all end in one play. Seeing Patrick Willis knee the wrong way round taught me that.

Patrick Willis retired because of a chronic toe injury lol
