QB's are a lot like a punter or WR, hard for them to defend themselves from a hit, so they get extra protection, and after what happened to Tua, they are getting even tougher with those calls.

They need to fix this roughing the passer stuff before it completely ruins the NFL. I get protecting players, but you still have to be able to play defense. How else was that guy supposed to finish that play?

It's more than that.

I'm sorry what happened to Tua. But you know what? That's FOOTBALL. These guys know what they're signing up for, they've given their consent, and are getting paid millions for it.

Like Aikman said, time to take the dress off.

Wow, that's some kick from a guy signed off the street out of necessity.

Which is good but they’ve gone too far.

My problem with the body weight calls is how was he supposed to avoid it there? He had the ball in one hand and extended his other arm to brace the fall.

If that call was on D Law in one of our games this site would crash. :muttley:

I edited my post to clarify it was a bad call. Yes those body weight sacks can’t be helped.
However they remain a judgement call and not always applied the same.
