These QBs have been injured, many of them the season has ended.
Donovan McNabb
Chris Simms
Matt Hasselback
Trent Green
Jack Delhomme
Aaron Rodgers
Byron Leftwich
My point is it's, if these rules weren't in effect would this list be any longer than it already is?

How many of those were outside the pocket when the qb was scrambling? While I can kind of understand the safeguarding inside the pocket, once a qb starts running, they should be considered a normal player with no special consideration.
