RGIII is the exception to the rule for injuries, thats why he's brought up, but funnily he's brought up as the rule by people who want to speculate. He's the closest thing to compare to, yet nothing like Lamar. How often do WRs get injured? Lamar is built like a strong WR, and takes similar yet lesser hits. There are no stats or any reasonable analysis that would suggest that Lamar will get injured per the amount of "hits" he is taking or not.

My comment was specifically about a play where he didn't have to take a hit. All players get hit, and QBs take their fair share for sure.
That play in particular, he had the first down and could have gone out of bounds, but chose to gain an extra half yard and get hammered for it. Hopefully he gets smarter about stuff like that, because I definitely enjoy watching him play.
