ah brings back memories of Fran Tarkenton,,,, I don't remember him getting hurt? And Fran was very small.
Russel Wilson has fared quite well, but I admit, he's only a newbie in this game... Hard to predict just who will get injured in football.... in the old days, you never heard about a player with Turf toe?

It's a much different league than it was in the days of Tarkenton.

Now, every team has 3 Deacon Jones's.

very true,, bigger and faster,, but Fran was exciting to watch.. kind of gives away my age here.. but those big guys seem to have short careers too,, knees seem to go.. I'd be surprised to see Vince Wolfolk last 2 more seasons.
Gilbert Brown had a relatively short career.
