| Tebow and injury
I am sick of people talking about Tebow is going to get injured - like its a foregone conclusion.
I actually think the way he plays makes him less likely to get injured than more normal QBs.
I remember hearing Jim Brown talk about how running out of bounds and sliding and stuff conditioned players to become weak and actually putting themselves in vulnerable situations.
I mean he can get injured - just like a running back or WR or anyone else who carries the ball a lot. But i think he is less likely to get injured then, say, Eric Ainge.

| Why would Ainge be more likely to be injured than Teabow? Ainge may get hit 1-3 times a game, while Teabow is hit every 1-2 plays. | |

The same goes for running. Just look at how many people blow a knee out running. A pocket-passer that hardly ever gets sacked, will not be injury prone.
Look at Brett Farve, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady, they don't get sacked much and never miss a game. They scrambling QB's like Steve Young, Byron Leftwich, Donovan McNabb, and Michael Vick have been injured a lot. | |

| I agree. Ainge will probably have more injuries in his career then Tebow will. | |

1)You spelled Eri K Ainges name wrong
2)Your avatar | |

Black does not always = fast.

| Leftwich might be the slowest QB in the NFL.
