The whole premise of this thread makes no sense.

What would Randy Moss think if Sean Ellis or even Kris Jenkins lined up across from him with the intention of knocking him down?

He would LOL.

Chad is a big guy, 6'5" 240lbs. wearing pads and a helmet, short of going kung foo on his ass, how do you expect to deliver a blow that would actually hurt him?

Chad ain't going to line up at WR and say " Oh hello there Mr Mayo I think I will take you on straight up".

People have this idea that QBs are wimpy or fragile, there not, they are football players, as tough and athletic as anyone on the field.

Yeah, but you still need a guy on the QB anyway. See Faulk to Brady, 2001.

================================================== =

You don't need to tell me about Chad sinjury history QB's by nature of there position leave themselves vulnerable to get hurt.

But Chad would be playing WR rather then QB, and were not talking about him leaving his feet going up in the air over the middle to catch a pass.

yeah we're talking about engaging a LB and his nice shoulder being yanked on or driven into the ground.

Then you are talking about cheating, and yes that would work, my bad, I thought we were talking about a legal play.

Me too. Since we've demonstrated time and again this season with more than just Miami that we simply can't handle the Wildcat formation why not accept reality and just flatten Penny's girly mon scrawney tail outa the game? Works for me.
