That's a direct quote from the article. You never go low on a quarterback, you will get flagged and probably fined. Either it was dirty or Suggs is just not smart enough to figure out that the league will protect starting QBs at all costs. "But the rules say he is a runner" boo hoo and the league says, he's still a quarterback, you don't go low. Please tell me that you are smart enough to understand that.

He makes that same hit on Brady, or Manning or Rodgers he'd be getting hammered as the dirtiest player alive and probably missing at least 4 games. The league protects QBs, you'd think by now that with all those years in the game he'd have figured this out.

There is no rule about hitting a runner, QB or not, low. In the read option the QB is a runner and is supposed to be treated as such.




Mike Pereira ‏@MikePereira 1h1 hour ago In regards to Suggs, it isn't a foul. QB does not get protection running read-option or zone-read. Might be cheap but not a foul.
