Lamar Jackson Combine measurables were same as Dalton- 6'2 216 lbs
What kind of play was he injured on? Was he running? Did any previous hits contribute to the injury?
Dalton isn't really a running QB and doesn't take the punishment Jackson will at the NFL level.
The funny thing is, I remember having similar discussions about RGIII on the old boards and people were vigorously defending him and his ability to stay healthy once he got to the NFL.
This seems pretty simple. Running QBs take more hits and often don't brace for the hits as well as RBs. Vick didn't know how to slide. RGIII took some brutal hits. Defender's love getting a free shot at the QB when they don't have the same rule protections they have behind the LOS.
This isn't personal. Look at the list of running QBs and you see more injury riddled careers.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
