The Challenges of Being an NFL Quarterback
Summary
While there are various positions in the NFL, the quarterback role is often the least desired by players. This is primarily because quarterbacks endure significant physical and mental challenges on the field.

In the NFL, numerous positions come with their own set of responsibilities and pressures. However, the quarterback position stands out as one that many players prefer to avoid. The reason for this is largely due to the intense physical toll it takes. Quarterbacks are on the receiving end of numerous hits, especially when they drop back in the pocket. The most jarring are those unexpected hits that catch them off guard.
Often, after a tackle, quarterbacks may bounce back up, ready to continue playing. However, there are instances where the impact is severe, leading to serious injuries such as concussions, broken bones, or even more alarming issues like severe head injuries and cervical spine damage. In many situations, surgery is necessary, sidelining the player for months. Although many quarterbacks recover quickly thanks to their resilience, some injuries can lead to permanent damage.
While some players might try to push through their injuries, this isn't advisable. Continuing to play can worsen existing injuries or create new ones. Coaches and team physicians typically prevent injured players from returning to the field if the injury is serious. However, there are cases where players, eager to contribute, hide their injuries and continue playing until the season ends.
Take, for instance, Donovan McNabb, who played almost an entire season with a hernia. He underwent surgery after the season and made a comeback, only to be injured again. Thankfully, this happened at the end of the season, allowing him some recovery time.
Being a quarterback is undoubtedly tough and fraught with risks. Beyond physical challenges, there is immense pressure to lead the team to victory. Poor performance often leads to being benched, as was the case with Drew Bledsoe of the Dallas Cowboys, who faced benching for not meeting expectations.
Ultimately, the goal for any NFL quarterback is to secure wins, as there's a lot riding on their performance on the field.
