[QUOTE="GTJason, post: 122711, member: 94"] The thing amounts to a player safety issue and having that many 300# + guys shoving around in a pile is going to cause nothing but injuries. There is not much evidence to support a QB in our system gets hit more than a traditional QB. The problem is a QB in our system is a runner by the rules and not protected by the normal QB rules which is fine. This allows players from the other team to take cheap shots, and I can't think of a better way to stop us offensively (no offense to Byerly.) JT played banged up for a lot of the year but he wasn't truly injured until the Duke game and after that it seemed to me that he lost a step. He was much more willing to pitch the ball on option plays (I believe CPJ told him he needed to be more selfish) but we didn't miss much of a beat. My point is, after a month of rest and healing, our track star was back against Miss St. I will fully admit the stats show no trend. He got nearly as many yards against FSU as he did Miss St., but also an 80% healthy JT is still the fastest guy on the field. Just to me he didn't have that pep after that c***sucker from Duke rolled his ankle. I get we won the game against UGA and the score shouldn't have been that close, but the history books will remember it as a thriller. The refs need to blow plays dead faster [/QUOTE]
