you are carrying what I said WAYYYY to far.....I never said the players should not be protected....I said they are getting TOO picky.....you can't even be happy if you get a touchdown anymore.....AND YES....I belive there should be common sense limits to EXCESSIVE celebrating.....BUT....and I will leave it at that
pretty soon this is what we will be watching...but we better not pull the flag too hard
Believe me, I know I'm in the minority and most people are sick of all the pampering for QB's, but the game has changed. These guys are faster, stronger, bigger and hit harder. I would rather see all the great QB's, WR's, RB's and so on healthy enough to play as often as possible. Your never going to take all the injuries away and it is a violent sport, but I agree with the NFL trying to protect the players as much as possible.
As far as the celebration, as we say in golf...."It is the players responsibility to know the rules", that was an obvious breach of it, and they should have known it.
