I’ve said this for awhile and people always hate it, but they basically need to make the QB off limits to hit unless they’re running. Like a sack would be you wrap him up and the play is whistled dead. I get that it would be lame, but is it any more lame than watching a shit ton of backups who can’t play?
Seriously, there’s like 20-25 people in the world who can be a competitive NFL QB. That’s it. After those 25 (and that’s being generous), you get absolute trash. They need to be protected more. This is a billion dollar industry, good QBs are the face of the franchises and they’re rare.
I don’t get this take. We played decades with QBs getting hit and football was still great
You think football is the same now as decades ago? When the DL was a stout 240 lbs and they smoked on the sideline.
I said for decades. Not decades ago. And anywy decades ago could refer to the early 2000s. Getting hit by Ray Lewis then would suck as much as getting hit by anyone now
