Why does Russell Wilson never get injured?

[BriansRams]

I can't stand it. Why are him and Kaepernick always nice and healthy?

 

[NukeRam]

They run out of bounds before anyone can lay a lick on them.

 

[RamzFanz]

Because incomplete passes don't hurt?

 

[Alan]

Zing!

 

[PowayRamFan]

Wilson leads the league in rushing for a QB, it's only a matter of time. Although I think he is really smart about not getting hit, running is a HUGE part of his game and eventually it will bite him. Let's face it, he's no giant out there.

They have sold their souls to Satan.

 

[Ramrasta]

Wilson has such a compact and stocky build that he can take hits like a running back.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This , he looks like Emmit

 

[CodeMonkey]

He has a great sense of when to throw the ball away at the last moment too. Smart football player.

 

[Rambitious1]

They run out of bounds before anyone can lay a lick on them.

I think there is truth to that statement.

 

[Mackeyser]

He's just a smart football player who's used well. They don't ask him to throw it 40 times a game where he might be exposed. They allow him to move. He's very smart about which throws he makes on the move.

Most importantly, he's very smart about protecting himself.

I don't know if it's just that, Bradford is smart about protecting himself too, for the most part. If you ask me, some guys are just luckier than others.

Luck. And not Andrew.

I think this is part of the reason the other being his ability to avoid sacks.So many times our guys had him or it seemed and he gets away.But one of these days Donald or Brockers is going to crush him count on it.

Pete Carroll's deal with the devil.
They're both screwed next year.

 

[yrba1]

Because even though he utilizes his legs, he doesn't recklessly run with the ball. Wilson plays smart by sliding before a linebacker can bear hug him. Those runs by RG3 where he just took what the defense gave him foreshadowed his ability to stay healthy.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

They are both natural runners with great body control. Guys like Palmer and Bradford lack body control and thus are not fluid natural runners.

Reminds me of my first time in high school. I was like a dying fish with mild epilepsy.

 

[Corbin]

Yep he's smart and will slide before contact or run out of bounds 1-2 yards so there is no contact. I like Wilson but would never be to hurt if he was roughed up so he couldn't face us!

These guys stay healthy because of good genes, a little luck, and maybe a sprinkle of work regime... it looks like Bradford missed the session when they were passing out the strong leg gene. Lol ever pay attention to those squanny things?
