mahomes is the safer one... but if you want that QB WINS YOU A LEAGUE guy then it will be Jackson... The question is will that season be this season or not...
I will take Mahomes but for everyone calling him super elite I want to see what his roster will look like when he is making 50 million a year and how he manages the talent around him.
Just to be clear, your pick Is?
Mahommes. He might not score as much per game, but he is a much better bet to stay healthy. I’ll wait for the later rounds though. QBs like Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Ryan, Rivers, Wilson, and Watson all have the capacity to end the year as the number 1 QB in the league. That’s not even counting wildcard QBs that could explode next year, like Drew Lock or Kyler Murray. QB is just too deep to take someone early at the cost of a starter at RB/WR.
It’s not entirely scientific, though. Research on NFL quarterback injuries compiled by injury coordinator John Verros at Sports Info Solutions shows the risk of a quarterback being injured on a designed run is remote — only one for every 236 plays.
The risk for a scrambling quarterback is almost equal to the quarterback who is sacked: once every 91.7 plays for the scrambler, once every 92.5 plays for the guy getting sacked.
The most dangerous play category Verros discovered is the knockdown; the quarterback who is taken to the ground while unleashing a pass, as when the Jaguars’ Nick Foles suffered a broken clavicle after being struck while releasing a pass against the Chiefs. That player is hurt once every 67.3 plays.
I think we'd need the numbers for a RB to use for Jackson. He does scramble, but many are running plays.To everyone harping on the 'injury risk of a running QB', I'll just leave this here...
Designed runs are included on that as a separate stat.I think we'd need the numbers for a RB to use for Jackson. He does scramble, but many are running plays.

That being said, I'm still probably taking Mahomes for dynasty, but it's a lot closer than most people are making it seem.
That's fair, but it's no guarantee that either of them have that kind of injury (major knee, Achilles, etc...). If Lamar dislocated his kneecap, the same way Mahomes did, he'd be able to recover from it and be fine imo. And even if he tears his ACL, we're just gonna gloss over the fact that science/technology has gotten to the point where a lot of players can come back and be just as good as they were prior to the injuries? I don't think an ACL tear or anything in that realm are an automatic death-blow to anyone in the sport anymore.No it isn’t though.
Both players will he injured at some point. That is the nature of the sport.
The difference is that Mahomes skill set makes it far more likely that he will still be elite post injury. All it takes is one big hit on a knee and LJ could be just a good runner instead of a great one. And that impacts his ability to make plays in other areas too.

Wouldn't the scrambles be part of the designed pass plays category as well though?"It's 1 in 92.5 for a QB getting SACKED inside the pocket, not just plays inside the pocket.
Per football outsiders the risk for injury on a designed pass play is 1 in 771 plays.
So 1 in 771 for designed pass
1 in 236 designed QB run
1 in 92.5 getting sacked
1 in 91.7 scramble
1 in 67.3 getting knockdown
So scrambles and designed runs have a higher expected injury risk than a designed pass play, and scrambles are similar to getting sacked in terms of expected injury risk.
Also from PFF, there is a positive correlation between per-dropback sack rate and scramble rate (r=0.44). So mobile QBs are also more likely to get sacked than QBs that don't run.
So from this article he's kinda supporting the argument that running QBs have a higher expected injury risk."
