Just found out about ANOTHER rule change...more QB safety

Saw that when I was reading about the other rule changes. NFL = PFL Pansy Football League. Once a defender has been knocked to the ground he can't make a tackle on a QB unless he completely gets back up. No longer can a player go with force at the legs of a QB.

Mann, it must suck being a ref. Having to know all these rules and make these crucial calls in live game speed is extremely difficult.

So if a guy is say a foot from a Qbs legs he must not touch him until he gets back up?

From what I understand, I think they can still swipe their arm at his leg or grap him with his arms but he cant lunge his body below the QB's knees.

I think it's going to make it harder and harder for players to play...having to think about the minutia of these things. If they want to get rid of it, they should just say NO HITTING BELOW THE KNEES...not ok I have to think about if I am lunging, if I am going to hit him with the forearm, etc. Prime example that NYJ guy who about decapitated Boldin last year. That was simply the result of playing football at 100% speed. He can't sit there and dissect, WHILE THE PLAY IS HAPPENING..."well the other DB is coming at 'X' angle, so I'd better veer off or Boldin breaks his face when I hit him".

We are a year or two away from making it where you cant touch the QB at all. Fans grow tired of the yellow flag flying all game but with rules like this it just makes it worse. Every team will eventually because a pass first team with rules like this.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
