Why aren quarterbacks fair game?
Maybe I’m just insensitive to their needs, but new rules are making quarterbacks become more and more off-limits to the type of hits that help make football as popular as it is, and I don’t understand it. The point of this is not to call all quarterbacks princesses. Watching enough football to appreciate the ludicrous nature of these rules also exposes us to plenty of exceptions to the stereotype of pretty boy quarterbacks. Players like Russell Wilson risk their health weaving through defenses, Tim Tebow plows through middle linebackers like they’re not there and plenty of other quarterbacks make sure fans know they do indeed have the toughness the rules would indicate they lack. But anyone who watches football regularly can also probably attest to the maddening abundance of 15-yard penalties assessed for hits on quarterbacks. These penalties keep crucial drives alive seemingly every weekend because a defensive end fails to come to a complete stop the millisecond a quarterback gets rid
