Theisman said he had to look at how running backs trained and practice taking hits because he was similar in size to an RB than a QB. A caller called in and said TH playing style looked like the Vanilla Vick

The durability thing is very odd to me. There are other players his size that are able to survive in the NFL. I wonder if hitting the weights would help? I wonder also if he wasn't fighting for a career everytime he stepped on the field if he would refrain from standing in the pocket and getting crushed to try and make a special play and maybe that would keep him healthy.

Its more reality than just being odd. He even got hurt in the game the other night (although that one wasn't serious at all). Every other time he's out of the game and then more games beyond that. Obviously that doesn't necessarily mean that will always happen, but any team that wants him as a starter better have a solid back up plan.

Regardless - even though I loathe the franchise he plays for, I'm happy he was given the chance the other night and he'll be given another.
