– Why do NFL teams basically play one quarterback all/every game, while MLB teams play multiple pitchers?
In: 11
Simple math for starters.
A baseball starter can throw up to 100 pitches per game. A football player throws at most 50 passes a game.
After that it’s physical exertion/physics. A baseball pitcher is trying to throw a tiny ball as hard as they possibly can. Throwing a football by comparison is easier due to the shape and throwing motion. Also you are not trying to throw a football as far as you can every play. Many of the passes a QB makes are short passes which require little effort.
