Always look forward to your articles! How do you rate the “skill” of staying healthy though? Is it reasonable to underrate QBs like Lamar whose style leaves him more prone to injuries or Tua who has a history of head injuries?
Side note I’d love to see an analysis on WR contribution in the future. It’s the part of the game you never really see as a fan from the tv view.
Lamar's style actually doesn't make him more likely to be injured! There are a couple studies showing that mobile QBs are less likely because they don't take the brutal hits of pocket QBs
