The second part is true. The first draws a false equivalence. I pull out my hair every time I hear it.
Yes, a freak injury can happen to any QB. So to prevent that from happening, you need to protect him as much as possible lol. It's not rocket science. It's like saying, "Why would you want Megatron? You'll still throw some incompletions and interceptions." Like, yeah! I guess! But what game are we playing here- Perfection or Bust?! Are we saying Megatron wouldn't help?! Or that a good OL wouldn't protect the QB?!
I know that wasn't your point but I just had to vent. It's the age we live in. All these gotchas wear me out.
