BUT, the QBs mean alot to the league.
What other sport can a teams chances be so radically changed in the first game by one freak hit.
If you make it a 15 yard penalty to hit qbs at the knees or below, it might decrease this type of injury
I'm all for protecting the QB, but sometimes it just happens. I don't think that what happened yesterday was something that requires a rule change.

It ALREADY IS against the rules.
"No defensive player who has an unrestricted path to the quarterback may hit him flagrantly in the area of the knee(s) or below when approaching in any direction."

Plain and simple, Wilfork got fined for it, and so will Pollard. If he's not, we should officially call for Goodell's head.
He wasn't blocked into Brady. He was on the ground, laid there, and then lunged from the ground into Brady's leg. Suspend him.
really? he wasn't blocked into brady? who was that RB on his back then?
