Re: Do running QBs really take more of a punishment?
Of course not, but that whole '300lb lineman landing on the QB' has literally had a rule put on it showing how much additional protection QB's get within the pocket. Anyone can get an injury on any play of course, but running QB's are more likely to get hit more, as well as faster collisions in open field.

Haven’t Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, and Josh Allen all been hurt?

Don't fall into the trap of judging a hit by how forceful it looks.

I'll post part of my post again seeing you only read the first bit apparently- "Anyone can get an injury on any play of course, but running QB's are more likely to get hit more, as well as faster collisions in open field"
It doesn't change the facts that a huge number of new rules have been put in place to protect QB's. Those rules don't protect running backs which is what Lamar (and anyone else) becomes when he runs.

And yet a horse-collar is illegal if somebody is running, but is not if the QB is in the pocket.

Well said. Again folks are acting as if Flacco was lighting up the league when he was in there. Also Flacco's accuracy was way off, his deep passes were pretty much punts or floaters. Lamar throws a better deep ball. I agree that Lamar has to work on his passing game but the talent is there.

Re: Do running QBs really take more of a punishment?
Remember Bart Scott gloating that he put "some hot sauce" on Mike Vick's ankle? That's all it takes, and defenders relish (condiments!) the chance to knock out the opposing QB.
I said when LJ was drafted that I'd be shocked if he was A) good enough or B) healthy enough to earn a second contract in Baltimore. Nothing I've seen in his three starts so far has made me waver from that in the least.
That said, I'm fine rolling with him, now and next year. I really hope the team can use the newfound cap space of having a rookie-contract QB to build around him sufficiently. On top of that, though it's a topic for another thread, I'd also of course like them to bring in an offensive minded HC who will be able to maximize his talent.
