Am I the only fine with how the NFL protects Quarterbacks?

[CrimsonTider]

The level of play drops tremendously when a backup QB is playing.

The best football is when you have competent quarterbacks.

I'm totally fine with the way the rules are.

Calling unecessary roughness on a defensive player when a dline player barely touches the qb or hits his helmet with his hand while trying to rush is unacceptable

trying to change the culture. You have to be heavy handed sometimes

Buncha soft 90's babies ... Terry Bradshaw didn't need the refs to hold his hand.

I'm fine with not being able to hit em in the head. I'm fine with not being able to hit them low. Now you can hit em dead square in the chest but if it's with the helmet, it's a penalty.

I mean damn its getting pretty close to impossible to get a legal hit on the QB.

I agree trying watch a game of two inept backup Qbs who you know can't move the ball ..it's awful

Na fukk that, defensive players are way to penalized

negged for liking the pussification of the game. In 2005, 2 guys threw for 4,000 yards. In 2011, 3 threw for 5,000 yards. In 2002, Tom Brady led the league with 28 touchdown passes. Peyton threw 55 last year. I forget all the other shocking numbers, but this one should do it. Through 2007, only Dan Marino had ever thrown for 5,000 yards in a season. Since 2008, Drew Brees has done it 4 times, Peyton Manning twice I think, I think Brady did it twice, Matt Stafford has, and Eli fukking Manning came just 67 yards short of it too. In 2013, Peyton's 49 td pass season, his passes went 8.4 yards through the air on average. They went 6.2 last year. 49% of his yards were after the catch. Not being allowed to cover or hit anyone is bad for the game.

Not surprising from someone who thinks Drake is dope.

I think it's more trying to market toward the fantasy football crowd and making it look like they care about safety so that they dodge the bullet that is the concussion lawsuit

I think your wording was a bit different. Pretty much the same thing though. It's just wrong.
