QBs Need to Sell They're Fine | NFL News

Two-time Super Bowl champ Carl Banks argues that quarterbacks like rookie Jaxson Dart often get unfairly sent to the blue tent after hits — not because they’re hurt, but because they linger too long. Banks compares it to stuntmen who must sell their performance to convince audiences they’re okay, urging Dart to show immediate alertness and readiness to get up. He cites Ron Jaworski as proof that tough-looking sacks don’t always mean injury — it’s about how you react. With player safety now hyper-focused in the league, Banks admits the bias is justified, but believes players can actively shift perceptions through their post-hit behavior. He’s confident Dart will master this mental game and avoid unnecessary medical timeouts. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
