What's wrong with Fairley knocking opposing QB's out of the game again?

[thunderraiden]

Sorry I never got the memo on why it was a bad thing that Fairley's late hits, or overaggressive hits that knocked QB's out of the game.

15 yards > knocking opposing star QB out of the game

[thunderraiden]

I was under the impression that if Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, or Josh Freeman would be hardpressed to win games if they were on the sideline looking like Jay Cutler.

fug that. we can beat them without breaking their bodies.

would rather have him get in their heads by beating their lineman and destroying them on legal plays.

Busting spleens is more effective.

It doesn't promote a family environment in the stadium.

Sure, provided you're cool with Abraham or Ellis cheap shotting our QB or RBs knee here and there. Whatever it takes to win, right?

[thunderraiden]

Was half hearted with this thread. But at the same time, if he is knocking QB's out of the game legally maybe slightly after the ball is out of their hands i kinda like that prospect.

[Real Emotional Trash]

Yeah but that's not what he does. He headbutts shins and grinds his helmet into theirs to cut the QB's face up. That's not what football's about.

[Mr. Scot]

If he knocks a guy out with a clean hit, I have no problem with it.

If it's a dirty shot, yeah I have a problem, because I'd be pissed if one of their guys did it to us.

(and so would everybody else on here)

[Panths]

We got one of our two wins because we hurt a starting QB

There is no such thing as legally koing a QB now. If you so much as pat him on the back hard anymore its 15 yards.

[Mr. Scot]

Rivera has specifically said he's tired of seeing guys "head butt each other" and wants the team to get back to true tackling.

That doesn't mean we won't hit hard, of course.
