I’m sure this will be unpopular… But what does tackling QBs add to the game? The competition for defenses takes place at the line. If they get to the QB to tackle them… The competition is already over. The defensive player is going to win just about every time.

The reality is QBs skill sets require them to be like a Ferrari. While the people trying to tackle them are like monster trucks. QBs are fragile and modern defensive rushers are athletic freaks of nature.

QBs getting hurt all the time makes the sport less fun to watch for everyone. We all want our star QBs out there.

And besides all that… Efforts to make the sport safe for QBs make it to where rushers don’t even know what is allowed or not allowed. And defenses get flags all the time for touching a QB wrong.

Why don’t they just admit that the QB position us unique and attach flags to them? It would protect QBs and remove the ambiguity for defenses.

Thoughts?
