Let it go, shythead. You’re too dense and dug in to understand the point I was making.

Yeah, bro, but I lift weights and drink protein powder, bro. So I know, bro. Fck science, bro. I got a feeling, bro.

LOL

And then when Teddy got bigger and heavier in the NFL he sustained a catastrophic knee injury. So, yeah. If your number is up it’s up regardless of what you weigh.

When some guys get frustrated they lash out. They’re just used to hearing “he needs to get heavier!!” so they parrot that ****. There’s no benefit to forcing weight onto a naturally thin QB. If you don’t like skinny QBs, then recruit heavier ones. At what magical point does the weight gain...

Unnatural is the process of forcing weight onto someone by any means whether it be juice or just forcing them to eat more than someone with the same body type and metabolic rate normally eats. Stuffing someone who naturally burns a lot of calories in an attempt to force weight on him is the...

Running into oak trees at full speed and fighting weight classes really have nothing to do with the subject here. I readily accept that if you stand in the street and get hit by a car going 50 mph you’re more likely to get hurt than you are if you get hit by a gnat flying 50 mph. Now, let’s...

Look at the word “likely” in the article you provided. Also, getting stronger and forcing weight on a QB unnaturally are two different things. Perry can get significantly stronger without adding much, if any, weight. On top of all that, I’m sure if I cared enough, I could find several articles...

I’ve seen no studies correlating it at all. I’ve seen no science that supports the idea that packing weight unnaturally on a naturally thin QB makes that QB less susceptible to injuries. That’s the only point I’m making here for the “how much does he weigh?” bozos.

That equation has zero to do with the actual discussion.

If Perry plays without a helmet and gets punched in the face by DL then I’ll buy your anecdotal musings. Otherwise, you’ve got nothing to back up the idea that packing weight on a naturally thin QB will make him less susceptible to injury. The physiology of traumatic injuries is not a “common...

What does that have to do with forcing weight on a QB or the alleged relationship between adding weight to a QB’s body and the added pounds making a QB more durable. You have no idea if Perry is increasing his strength or if he’s participating actively and enthusiastically in resistance training.

Common sense doesn’t apply to scientific matters. Either there’s science to support the theory that forcing weight on a QB inhibits injuries, or there isn’t.

Based on what?

Bolded part is precise. Your QB needs to be tough and will have to fight off bumps and bruises whether he's 180 pounds or 240 pounds. Breaking bones and tearing ligaments happens to skinny guys and bigger guys. If it's your time for a broken bone or torn ligament, then it's your time...

How would him adding 10 pounds increase his durability and/or toughness? Are there any scientific studies that would support this idea that a QB adding 10 pounds makes him more durable? Adding weight can make guys stronger, but I haven’t seen any proof that adding weight makes you more durable.

Amen! Is there any scientific proof that adding weight unnaturally makes one less susceptible to injury? There are plenty of big dudes who get hurt all the fcking time.

The obsession with weight on this board is OCD psychosis. Perry is a naturally thin guy just like the guy who won the Heisman a couple years ago. Jackson ran the ball a lot more than Perry will, and he’s fine. If Perry can play he can play. All you mongoloids obsessed with unnaturally packing...
