re: Knocking Tebow Out?

Somewhere over the course of reading medical papers on concussions this past two weeks, I remember reading a statistic that surprised me: That a QB was twice as likely to have a concussion over the course of their careers than a running back.

I figured that this is for a couple of reasons:

1) If a running back is going to be hit high, they will likely see it coming. It's not too often that someone catches up with a running back from behind, or even a blind side, and doesn't try to wrap them up low to make the tackle

2) A QB is more likely to sustain a hit that they didn't see coming, and are more likely to receive a high hit because defenders are often trying to put a helmet into the QB's chest, rather than trying to wrap them up. High hits are more likely to result in an uncontrolled fall that puts the helmet forcibly on the turf.

This is a long way of saying that the greatest danger to Tebow may not be from his running with the ball, but with him throwing the ball. If that is the case, and he does play, perhaps the worst thing that Meyer could do would be to try to keep him back in the pocket and not having him try to run with the ball.
