– Why do NFL teams basically play one quarterback all/every game, while MLB teams play multiple pitchers?
In: 11
NFL quarterbacks aren’t throwing as hard as possible, or straining by putting odd spins on their throws. And they’re throwing the ball only 30-40 times per game max, many of those soft/short passes. And they’re only playing one game per week. MLB pitchers tire from throwing so hard so many times, and also batters seeing them repeatedly gives the batters an advantage in subsequent at-bats, while there is no such benefit to defense over course of NFL game.
