QBs getting injured by sacks almost never has anything to do with the number of sacks.  QBs get injured in the beginning of the season at the same rate they do later in the season.  If the nuber of sacks made any difference you would nto see any QBs injured early in the season but thenm they would all start dropping late in the season when the sacks added up.

The last year Andrew Luck played in the NFL he was only sacked 18 times in 639 for the LOWEST SACK RATE IN THE LEAGUE.

Almost all QB injuries come from sacks or getting hit behind the line. So yes I would say you want to limit the amount of sacks and hits to a QB to help prevent injury. The argument that a QB could get hurt on the 3rd sack just as likely as the 100th sack doesn't seem like a good argument as to why you shouldn't try and prevent sacks. 

I want Carman to succeed but I don't want to hand him the job. Last year I was confident in the dline but we still made a trade to bring in Hill and it proved valuable. I wanted to add a key piece in the draft for the oline that wasn't able to happen so I think we should still be looking to make some moves and we shouldn't be worried if that puts Carman back in a backup role.
