And he's not been in any trouble outside the stadium either. he's getting better, but he's an aggressive football player and it scares the "lets make football into two-hand touch" people to death. 

Fair point to bring up about last year. I was referring to his career as a whole. And clearly it doesn't matter now if he's actually flagged, he'll still draw suspensions for his hits, which IMO are worse than a 15-yard penalty here and there.

Vontaze is entering his 6th season. It's sad it's taken him so long to (possibly) start harnessing his aggressiveness. That should have been handled in his first couple years.

And to your last point, some fans (especially the old schoolers) may not like this move from physical football to what seems like the complete opposite end of the spectrum in the name of safety, but that's the way the NFL has been trending for quite a few years now. Players (and fans) will need to adapt or get out. The NFL won't revert back to what it used to be.
