The NFL has taken an interest in protecting QBs in the league - ones with last names like "Manning," "Brady" and "Favre." If you don't fall into that category, you're out of luck. Obviously there should have been a roughing the passer penalty on Sunday. If he's down, there's no need to hit him again. All players need to be treated equally when it comes to penalties regardless of how famous they are or how big their paycheck is, bottom line. NFL Officials constantly say that every quarterback is treated the same but this is proof that it's simply not the case. Until it is, we can expect this same type of stuff to happen all the time.
