If Fouts is going to make such a comment, I'd like him to reference the specific plays/moments where Brady was protected by the stripes and the outcome of said protection.
Listening to him reeks of jealousy.

Except, they aren't. As pointed out, there were only TWO called on players who hit Brady and I can guarantee you there were plenty that came more than a "split-second" late.

Fouts is a moron who is talking out his arse to make himself sound important. The reality is that Brady gets the fewest calls given to him and he probably knows the penalties better than the officials do.

I think all quarterbacks are over protected. Attaching Brady's name to it is stupid but, if a call is close you better believe the official is going to err on the side of the QB. That's just the NFL these days.

I agree. I also said on Weei, how the hell do you play for 15 seasons in the NFL and not make it to the Super Bowl Once. Sounds to me someone is hating. Dont Hate Appreciate. Brady 3 Fouts 0. I never even knew who this dude was until he said what he said about Brady.

Good point. Put aside that Fouts is an @$$ bag for pointing the criticism at TFB versus taking the well thought out road (as you did), the uncertainty around the RTP rule sucks. It is too arbitrary and unfair to defenders, plain and simple. When a rule is arbitrary, outcomes of the game can be decided not by the competition but increasingly by the whim of a guy in a black and white striped shirt with a whistle strapped to his hand. As foolish as this is, it would be fairer to say just put two hands on the QB and he is now sacked/down (can this be far off already?).

The ultimate problem is these decisions are made by an NFL brain trust that is less and less considering the game and more considering the $$$......

And since Brady got all of 2 RTP penalties called for him this season, it's clearly an epidemic. Sounds like Fouts should be saying this about a whole lot of other QBs rather than Brady.

Fouts gets special treatment from his employers by being able to say something so incredulously stupid without being publicly *****slapped and fired.
