The Brady Rule

Hey, I've got a great idea, let's change the NFL to NFFL, for National Flag Football League. The only players wearing flags will be quarterbacks. When going for a sack, you must grab the flag without touching the quarterback himself.

The Brady Rule is ridiculous. Had it been any of the Lions quarterbacks or anyone besides Brady, there's no way Roger Goodell would have made the rule stating that defenders who go to the ground are not allowed to plunge into quarterbacks. 

So in other words, if a player falls down, he has no chance of making the play on the quarterback unless he gets back up and the ball hasn't been thrown yet. Yeah, how likely is that? The rule doesn't say he can't tackled a running back from the ground so that just comes to prove the league is worried about the pretty boy QBs.

The league is great but I don't like the fact that it's turning more and more into an offensive league. Defensive games are just as great. Whatever happened to defense wins championships? Do you not recognize the difference between a great defensive battle and a poor offensive battle? 

Injuries are going to happen in a physical game and I know you want to decrease the injuries but how much more can you do? You're not allowed to tackle by the collar, you can't hit the opponents head, and now you can't make a play on a quarterback from the ground. Are you serious? Along with the flags, give the quarterbacks a practice jersey so the defense knows not to hit him.
