Wouldn't the scrambles be part of the designed pass plays category as well though?

FO was trying to determine the chance of injury based on the outcome of the play so no they don't.

"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."
Great stuff, stomp!

This is really great info.

It is common sense based on the rules. QBs are highly protected in the pocket. Mahomes runs a fair amount too, but he isn’t putting himself in harm’s way nearly as often as Jackson.
