Why does Russell Wilson never get injured?

[blue4]

It's only a matter of time. There will be that one LB they didn't see in time to get down. Wilson is a smart player though.

Luck is always the main factor with injuries. I don't wish injury on either guy. Wilson is on a rival sure and I wish a piece of the roof would fall on moron Pete Carroll, but Wilson carries himself with class so I can't hate on him. And I especially want Krapperdick to stay nice and healthy, because I really want that gutless loser douchebag to define that pathetic franchise for the next decade.

I don't know. It's been 3 years already and hasn't happened. It's not fair, haha. Rams and Cards are losing QBs left and right. Wilson is always healthy.

Wilson takes advantage of the rules and slides. Kaepernick does the same and runs out of bounds.

Besides, some guys are just more injury prone that others. Take Jake Locker for instance. Injured in college. Injured in the NFL. Guess the same can be said for Bradford.

On that note, I found it interesting that Locker's injury history backed up my theory on the injuries of running QBs. He told one of the guys broadcasting the game this week that most of his injuries had come when he was in the pocket. Not running. And sure enough, later in the game, it happened again.

Douche bags are constructed of pretty durable materials.

If the little midget keeps running,it will happen.Wait and see or ask Michael Vick.

Like Ramrasta and I sighted earlier in this thread ,Wilson is built like a running back ,low to the ground compact and thickly muscled ,which considering things like his hand size indicates to me it's mostly natural muscle, that's very important because so many injuries are to connective tissue which doesn't build the way the attached muscles do and depending upon how much weight training he's done ,when he started etc. if he didn't start weight training too early his growth plates may not have been distorted by lifting too early.

I didn't let my sons engage in heavy weight training until late in puberty because I started too early and suffered from arthritis in my back in my thirties because the growth plates there and other places weren't ready for the load. Started lifting and upending 300 lb objects at the age of 11 and continued throughout my teens.

Back to Wilson ,his stature means his joints are less susceptible to leverage which is HUGE in why guys like RG get hurt ,someone mentioned Vick his hands are like 8 1/2 inches Wilsons are 10 1/4 inches again an indication his frame and connective tissue are suited to all his musculature .

I think another factor is his baseball background ,he was drafted by the Rangers and is really proficient at sliding ,and if you haven't seen RG flop when he tries to slide it's worth Googling.

Like someone said ,the time will come, or to paraphrase Madden, once you've played one down in the NFL your body will never be the same.
Random chance will catch up eventually ,but as far as uniquely suited to avoid injury he's got a lot going for him,the one injury he can't avoid better than anyone else is concussion which could become an issue if he keeps running

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

This was pure genius of you to make this statement!

They are doomed for sure now!!!

Hahahaha

My point exactly

 

[Thordaddy]

My point exactly

Yeah even though he slides well at the cost of 15 yards some goon will take him out, Siragusa did it to Gannon , von Oelhoffen did it to Palmer, it'll happen ,but he is IMO able to take hits like a RB ,avoid them with skills and minimizes the likelihood like few others.

If only it were that easy. But just in case, let me double up on that. Why doesn't Wilson or Kaepernick ever get hurt?
