So show me the rules. It was a legal hit on a quarterback who is known to be able to scramble to make plays. Should the defender have waited until McNabb rolled over and was in the process of getting up to satisfy you or would you have rather had him wait until he was completely upright and on the move again?

It would seem to me that there are no such rules when I see a defensive lineman come screaming around the blind side of a quarterback and nail him from behind so hard that he drops the ball and has to be helped off the field.

oh, so now we somehow take into account the abilities of the QB? this application of rules is getting more and more subjective, no one considered his abilities on third-and-10 last week before blowing THAT play dead.

the league has rules, however misguided, in place to protect QBs. god forbid it was brett (makes FR sweat) favre.

but again, it didn't significantly affect the outcome, so I'm not too upset about it. I'm more interested in putting these idiots in their place who think he should have played through the injury - half of whom probably can't climb a flight of stairs without being physically taxed. the man played a game on a broken ankle. I question the toughness of pinkston, thrash, etc. - not mcnabb yesterday.
