Roughing the Passer

Interesting article at FO regarding Michael Vick's whining about roughing:

In that spirit, it may be time for Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Joe Flacco, and Josh Freeman to start complaining (or having someone else do it for them). The four of them are all huge outliers -- combining for just five total flags in 620 quarterback knockdowns. Romo did finally draw one in Week 4 that I haven't counted down here -- all it took was Ndamukong Suh nearly destroying him. For that matter, David Garrard drew zero flags in 210 knockdowns, but I'd imagine he's more worried about finding employment than lobbying for favorable calls at this point.

easy solution as soon as Vick is touched in the back field blow the play dead. If he keeps running around back there and hanging on to the ball as he does looking for big plays down field he will continue to get hit as he is releasing the ball.

the other guys are not complaining only Vick. He thinks he is treated differently but many of the hits he takes is created by his own style of play.

Exactly my thoughts. Quit playing QB like a RB, and maybe just maybe...

I meant all players. It's the way the NFL is going. :

true, that has been the course. when it the game ends up as nothing more than flasy flag football I think many fans will start to walk away from the game.
