did you hear ray lewis just talking about it on the pregame for tonight's game? I thought he was gonna break down n cry dude he was so upset and he pulled out his credit card and said if the dude gets fined he will pay half of it for him hahaha
They're hard on hits for QB's for the same reason that they're hard on hits for kickers. Both are often in a vulnerable position. Not like you're trying to tackle a 200 lb WR or something...
i believe they need to do college rules and not give a fuck about safety cuz its a contact sport, but keep it in mind
CAG CheechDogg (November 18th, 2013)
No player on the football field is defenseless or in a vulnerable position. This is a contact sport from the kickoff to the last fucking second on that clock.
In the last 15 years there has really been no reason or need for teams to have 2 starting caliber quarterbacks because of the bullshit rules the nfl has been setting. The quarterback position has turned the whole nfl into a league of pussies, most of you never watched nfl games in the 80s when every player including the kickers were "open season".
In the 80s and early 90s, you still had teams with 2 great quarterbacks, like the 49rs with Montana and Young, the Cowboys with Aikman and Garrett, Rypien and Williams, Simms and Hosteller, Elway and Kubiak. While most of these back up quarterbacks only played sparingly, they were able to come into games when their starters were hurt because of a hit put on them from the defense. These quarterbacks did not bitch or cry about those hits, they spent their time on the sidelines and rooted their backups to win the games for them.
Now you have most quarterbacks getting payed $15-$20 million a year while all the other players get shit for their services, then when the qb gets laid out they don't have a capable quarterback or other players who can step up and win them games.
If quarterbacks were not getting paid so much money, the team owners wouldn't be pushing the nfl into making such bullshit rules to protect their "FRANCHISE PLAYERS". The nfl cap was the worst thing to have happen to the nfl, it ruined nfl Dynasties like the 49rs, the Cowboys, the Steelers, the Broncos, the Raiders and so many others.
The NFL and the team owners are not about giving us great teams to cheer for anymore, they are about making money, they are all about putting the greatest qb in the game, drafting the greatest quarterback in the game and getting help from the officials and the nfl so that their "FRANCHISE QUARTERBACKS" put on an air show with high scoring games while not allowing the defenses to hit the quarterbacks or wrs just for that reason.
In the 80s you had teams like the Chargers, the Skins, the Oilers, the Falcons, the Dolphins who regardless of the hits put on their quarterbacks and wrs, they were still able to put on an air show with high scoring games, the Chargers along with Don Coryell and Dan Fouts probably revolutionized the nfl and turned it into a passing league because of "Coryells" pass happy offensive scheme, but even then quarterbacks and wrs were not treated like pussies by team owners or the nfl.
When Dallas's quarterback Troy Aikman got knocked into retirement by Lavar Arrington, the nfl starting creating these bullshit rules and started fining players for hitting quarterbacks like nfl players should be hit, that was in 2000 and since then the nfl has turned to shit.
Steve Young one of the most aggressive scrambling Qbs got hit into retirement in 1998 and Jeff Garcia was able to take over for him, yet you didn't see Steve Young being a bitch about getting hit when he was scrambling or in the pocket.
I can go on forever about how and why the nfl has turned into a disappointing sport, but most of you probably weren't even born yet to even know what I am talking about, but without question, the nfl salary cap ruined the sport of football.
That was a good call I'm sorry when u r QB is worth that much and it was in the throat....The game has changed man look at Ice Hockey football to had changed in the last five years
CAG Grizzzly Cave of Bones
Those types of calls would not of been called in the 80s and 90s Grizzly, you are however entitled to your opinion and interpretation of what a bad call and no call should be. I no longer watch football games all day long like I did in the past because of how games are being called now. I used to watch games from the first 10 am game to the last monday night game.
No player is worth $20 million a year and if a team owner feels they are then it's their fault not another player's fault if they get hurt. The facemask is part of the uniform, yet you are not longer allowed to even accidentally hit a player who "himself" lowers their head to draw a flag but it is legal to grab a players hair who has dreadlocks and use them to tackle them? lol ..come on man!
The nfl and team owners are all about money, they are not about the safety of the players. If they were about safety they would allow these players to play on instinct. You can't second guess yourself especially when you play defense just to avoid a fucking fine or hurting someone. It's a physical sport and players will get hurt.
Here is the hit, he didn't lead with his helmet but did what every defensive player is told to do, wrapped a player with your arms and bring him down.
take a look at the replay, his arm hit Brees in the upper chest area right below both clavicle, a bullshit call ...
