Isn't that a form of favortism to protect just one class of employee and not the rest equally? Because as we have seen, these QB hit rules can negatively affect the health and job of other players. Basically fight fire with fire if they keep up with these ridiculous calls. Surprised it hasn't happened yet, but I almost bet we'll see it at some point.
Im all for the NFL protecting their stars. Lets face it , the QB's are what everyone cares about. The problem I have with it is that now, there is another set of penalties that are interpretive. I have seen Andy Dalton get hit this year with no flag and countless other QB's getting breathed on and them tossing the yellow. You can never count on the refs to call the games the same way which is all anyone asks for. Last night, for example, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw the ball and a Steeler defender was allowed 4 steps and to hit him low. It wasnt a vicious hit but it was more obvious than the Dunlap penalty when he hit Andrew Luck low.
