The new coaches may not know they are playing with fire, but we as a fanbase should see what is coming from a mile away.
As I told you in another thread, Cunningham took those hits and played a long time. Watson is taking those hits and seems to be playing through it. Also as I said there, I am not saying the O line is in a good place but acting like one guy who got hit a lot is the future for everyone else is a huge leap.
The Luck thing is interesting, he actually wasn't sacked all that much relative to his passing attempts. The numbers don't actually support the narrative people tried to paint around him. His highest sack % year was his rookie year at 6.1% which isn't bad and most years it was close to 4% which is really good. For comparison, Russell Wilson has a career sack percentage of 8.4%, he gets hit a ton and no one seems to talk about it.
