What was going on here…..?

I'm really sick of the over protection of quarterbacks. As it stands now, quarterbacks are NOT football players in the traditional sense.

 

I hear what you are saying but as technological advance were made <cough> <cough> <wink> <wink> they needed to do something to keep quartbacks on the field. But they definitely adjusted to far in the other direction.

 

Yeah they should ask Reed that question if they haven't already. He should have leveled him

 

Milano would have cut Mahomes in half...

 

It reminded me of 5-ish years ago when the whole Jets defense ushered a "scrambling" Tom Brady to a first down because they were afraid to touch him.

 

Or that time Brady was out in front on a reverse and Calvin Pryor didn't fucking blast him.

 

I think we drafted Calvin Pryor's hair. He just came with it.

 

just cant stop it...

 

How about this one:

I see it every-single-week. QB's making these 15 or 20 yd. runs because the D knows that if they hit them the way they are SUPPOSED to it will be a 15yd. flag tacked on. So, they let them run and hope to get them out of bound which, even that, is wrought with potential penalties of their toenail crossed the "chalk" so it was a late hit out of bounds. I'm sick of it. My god, could you imagine the numbers from guys like Plunkett, Bradshaw, Tarkenton et. al. if they played in today's game?!? Fran Tarkenton would probably be one of the greatest QB's of all time! Conversely, if you ported Tom "statue" Brady back to the 70's, I don't think he makes it out of year 2 or 3.
