Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's safe to say, that the dual threat QB's have a much shorter shelf life than pocket passers. Sure, even the pocket passers get injured, but the odds of that is MUCH less than the Murray's or Jackson's in the league. These two guys are not only putting themselves at risk more in the open field, they have slighter builds (I know, Murray=non-contact). Sure, there are anomalies like Cam Newton, but I'd argue he was a much bigger guy. Of course...I may be wrong.

this is undoubtedly true. I faded Lamar Jackson this year for that reason.
