Just seeing Joe Burrow’s out for the year now and it’s been brutal. How many backup QBs have started games? Is it a NFL modern record?
Aaron Rodgers out for year Kirk Cousins out for year Daniel Jones out for year Deshaun Watson out for year Joe Burrow out for year
Not to mention Justin Fields, Matt Stafford, Kyler Murray, etc. who have been banged up

Last year had the record for most starting QBs. It’s possible this year will beat it but quite a lot would need to happen still. Burrow going down is one additional. Is wentz starting or no? That would be another one.
Last year was 64 unique starting QBs. I think this year we’re at about 50.
I am sorry for the others QB’s getting injured but Deshaun Watson getting hurt is beautiful Karma, I hope he never plays another snap and the Browns have to keep paying him! Scumbag player playing for scumbag ownership.
Gulp
Let’s start putting 9-men on the O-line.
This might be the worst year for qbs in general. So much dog shit out on that field this year.
A record 9 rookie qb’s have started games this season so there’s that.
Yes
49s are still using their backup qb from last year too
Yeah it’s rough, can’t catch a break
You only kept him so you could embarrass the Bucs again with a backup QB.
What is the postseason if not excessively early pre-season?
49ers backup got benched by the Raiders, the third string is still starting.
All 3 of the Niners losses, those teams lost their starting QBs for the season, Geno needs to understand he HAS to lose to the Niners to preserve his season…its just facts, beating the Niners is a curse
Even losing to the 49ers is a curse, Giants got blown the fuck out and two months later, Jones’s knee got blown the fuck out
Third string*
Probably not. We’ve had some pretty crazy years in the past for injuries.
Thursday night games. More regular season games. Shortened pre-season. All things the NFL did to add $$ but they have increased the injury risk to players including the QB.
Thursday night games should not be a thing. Never should have.
Exactly- the only thing I need to know about TNF is that if there were numbers showing injury increase they would be ALL OVER every time a major players gets hurt on TNF. But instead it’s just radio silence with the actual numbers.
Just rolling out “increased injury risk” and listing things doesn’t mean it’s true.
The 17th game certainly adds injury risk by volume but the real two things at play have always been at play 1) NFL football games are just insanely hard on bodies 2) recency bias, we forget the last injuries once their present impact is over.
Don’t forget the trips to Europe cutting prep and recovery time down by a day half. Jet lag is terrible.
How does one less preseason game increase injury risk?
Less conditioning mandatory, less hitting practice before first live game.
First time watching the NFL?
I can’t believe none of them were Tua tbh
Feels like there’s more injuries and more serious ones as a whole lately.
It is making the season really unwatchable. So much bad play.
Its a horrible year for injuries in general. Chubb, Jefferson, Judon, Barkley, Andrews, Jarrett, Milano, Ramsey, Tredavious White, CJGJ, (Trevon) Diggs, Waller, Mike Williams have all had serious or season ending injuries.
