Running QB = increases risk of injury

[Templer]

Is an active run-QB more prone to injury?

Not any more so than other ball carriers.

Well, maybe we should think about it.
A more secure pocket passer. But if he runs often, he should be more prone to injury.

IRL Running QBs are more prone to injury because they take more hits (and arent protected from certain hits, like when they are in the pocket).

In the game, running QBs also get tackled more for obvious reasons, so (on balance) they do have a higher chance of injury. We do not currently model the difference in tackles inside the pocket / when running though.
