He just made an excellent point on Good Morning Football about the roughing the passer rules. We really don't want/need starting QBs getting hurt often. It's in everyone's best interest that they're protected more thoroughly. Especially when it's such a difficult position to begin with

Then put red shirts on them and don't allow them past the LOS.

Is there any evidence that less QBs are getting hurt since these stricter rules have been put into place? I tend to doubt that it's made any meaningful impact in that regard. I think it has more to do with the NFL wanting to look like it did something, regardless of whether or not it actually does anything.

Perhaps but it is a much better option than watching backups trying to pickup the slack. It's bad for the game & a ratings killer

But if the rule is hurting the enjoyment of watching the game while not solving the problem of QBs getting hurt, then it is the worst possible option.

What do you say to the DE who just got hurt because he was trying to avoid drawing a flag?

“Sorry, his career is more valuable than your’s.”

Come on!

I guess they have to start pulling the QB down. Some adjustment will be made bcuz u can't phase out the pass rusher

It's irritating now true enough but I think the players will find a way to adjust which in turn the fans will settle in aswell

U can never solve all QBs injuries but u can find a way to reduce them even more

They are phasing out tackling the QB, same thing.

And 15 yard penalties because the body of the pass rusher created too stiff a wind next to the QB, that's going to bring in the viewers.

It took him this long to figure out why the NFL made the rule? Well done for catching up, Kyle.

 

[Saint Jack]

The rules were only made to protect QBs like Brady, Brees, and Rogers. The money makers of the league.

 

[Jumpman910]

I know they drive the league and losing one derails a season 98% of the time but injuries are a part of it.

 

[syracuse saint]

The only answer is put flags on him. I know that sounds crazy, but I am being serious. It's the only way to remove contact with him.

I don't buy this as a reason. The talking heads will not accept this, but injuries are an integral part of football. We all know injuries can be the equalizer or the doom of any particular team at any season.

And in the injury circle, at times you win, at times you won't.

Fact is, the league have survived seasons without Brady, Manning, Rodgers, etc.

I will gladly accept injuries on exchange of solid, defensive play. I am at the camp that the league now have rules that gives offenses pure advantage.

I miss those beautiful 9-6 score games, where you see a couple of great defenses take charge of the game.

If I were an NFL QB I would feel like a little birch because of this rule. Basically everyone is saying you are a puss.
