If he's going to do read-option runs where he gets nailed by defenders, I see no reason why a QB sneak should be off limits. Mahomes has been banged up several times. It wasn't just the QB sneak. If anything that was a fluke that's unlikely to result in another injury. He's more likely to get hurt on a sack or hit while scrambling.

I am willing to sign a league minimum contract to be the designated QB sneaker. If this thread reaches 200 posts it WILL happen!!!!

Once you dislocate a knee it becomes very easy to do it again and again.

My daughter dislocated her knee on a trampoline. Ever since it's a common thing to pop out. It's strange it works its way back in but it's a week or two of discomfort. There is surgery but it seems it's hit or miss that it is completely successful.

I don't want Pat at the bottom of a pile.

Maybe you pull it out for a much needed conversion in the SB but otherwise hell no.
[Reply]

Yeah, it was a freak thing. Maybe Mahomes doesnt want to do it again? But, I doubt it.

Burton has proven again and again that he can get a yard running behind Creed/Thuney/Trey. Even against stacked lines.

Intellectually, I understand that it's a low injury probability.

Emotionally, I don't want to see it.

Being a sports fan is an emotional hobby.

Big fat NOPE.

Ok, and honest question here:

Is a QB sneak at higher risk for a dislocated knee than a sack or QB take down on a passing play or being tackled trying to run it in for a TD?
[Reply]

The odds of Pat getting injured on another QB sneak are about as good as the odds of him being hit by lightning. It's a non-issue.

And to be frank, at some point in his likely very long career he's just going to be required to run QB sneaks. Might as well let him get comfortable now.

Honestly, I'd be happier if Andy just started calling for them whenever it's appropriate. Familiarity will mitigate most of the risk, and Andy can stop having to come up with some cutesy trick play for 3rd/4th and 2.

This is why coaches always used to punt on fourth and one even when the wonks/stats said you could win more games going for it.
[Reply]

Has literally never failed.
[Reply]

I don't know, but the fact that they haven't tried is probably that the team doctors have told Andy not to risk it.
[Reply]

Yep.

I still say NOPE
