Speaking of QBs running the football too much and risking injury, the GT


QB has run the ball 102 times in 4 games. Thats a 12 game pace of 306 carries, and a 14 game pace of 357. And he's only 5-10 185. Evans had 204 carries in 14 games last year, at 240 lbs. I just can't imagine Marshall being able to continue taking on that kind of workload and NOT getting injured at his size.

By comparison, here are the number of QB carries for GT the last 5 years:
2016 Justin Thomas 12 games, 137 carries
2015 Justin Thomas 12 games, 145 carries
2014 Justin Thomas 14 games, 190 carries
2013 Vad Lee 13 games, 182 carries
2012 Tevin Washington 14 games, 177 carries
