Brutal Hit: Trevor Lawrence went to another universe (Update: Al-Shaair suspended 3 games)
We should have them fight lions to their deaths.
Or we can just stop putting all kinda of restrictions, when it comes to tackling a QB. These dudes put their pant legs, one leg at a time, just like everyone else. They have played this game, their entire life, like everyone else. They have the same access to nutrition/weights/performance training/muscle recovery just like everyone else. When you place too many rules for one position, it confuses everyone, including the QB. You can’t give a defender a small strike zone, in game action, at full speed, and not expect this kind of result sometimes. You can’t ingrain a mentality (in a QB), that their actions (sliding/diving/hurdling/etc), will keep them free from big hits, regardless of intent. Once you tip the balance in favor of one side of the ball or position, it’s not football anymore. It’s all just an illusion of fair play and competitive balance. So, if it’s not fair across the board, then make it fair by putting flags on them. That way, everyone knows their place, and everyone has the same competitive edge. If not, then assume the risks. Not saying that the defender was right or wrong, but these things are bound to happen.
