Mcnabb is perhaps the second best {Vick} running/scrambling QB in the NFL, so he'd be the next to last guy I'd assume was down and gonna stay there! In that, the whistle had not blown what if the defensive player pulls-up, McNabb gets to his feet and runs for 35 yards? Hmm? What then?

then you would agree with me that the specific protection of QBs creates more problems than it solves. but how can they argue he wasn't defenseless, yet call him DOWN last week on an important third-and 10 when he never even left his feet AND threw the ball in the ara of a receiver?

Bad rules get worse when applied inconsistently. God forbid Nate Wayne jumped on Brett Favre like that.
