Brady plays all of 2020 with Unreported MCL Injury

I'm not a believer that any D player would lay off of a QB because he thinks he may NOT be injured in some way or another.  Nor would they be more likely to T off on a guy because they think he is.  Their goal always is to hit the QB as hard as possible.

 

Forget the fact that Brady gave no indication this was a real injury in the way he plays.  And the team withheld the info, not the player.  Brady made it clear to the Bucs he was dealing with a knee injury last Spring/Summer.

though if you know he has either broken

ribs or a bum knee do you think that linebacker may go a little higher or lower? Or that DT getting up off the pile may shift his weight differently?

I really don't believe they have that type of precision in their decision making in the moment.  If they have a clean shot, they are going to lay as big a hit as possible, whether they think the guy is injured or not--they WANT to get the starter out under any circumstance 

 

There often isn't a large pile on top of a QB from which an LB or DE may choose to extricate himself this way or that.  If he is inclined to be "giving the him the business", he's going to do it whether he thinks the QB has a bum knee or not.  I doubt there a lot of guys right now thinking: "man, if I had known this, I would have taken a cheap shot and ended his season".  They had plenty of opportunity:  he was 8th in QB hits taken

the proverbial pile being more often a running back or lineman for instance, in discussing the rule on a wider level. 
 

and I suspect there’s a bit more ability to think about it than you are giving credit for. I don’t think every hit is measured and thought out but I do think plenty would know “diggs has broken ribs- im going to take a shot at them.” No doubt in my mind that every safety and corner would have that memo

I suppose, but I was thinking more along the lines of, for instance, Diggs is taking a lot of hits in the torso already--as hard as they can hit him.

I didn’t think it was possible, but post-NE Tom Brady has become even more insufferable

I thought I would not hate him once he left the cheaters. I thought my hate was tied to the helmet. 
 

nope.

I mean, ok… maybe you aren’t the best player your sport has ever seen though, Marcia.

I’m with you…. I hate the removable top. Like it’s a toddler toy. To me, less is more, keep it clean and classy. Leave the gimmicks off.

Regardless if its Brady or any other player...I never really saw the significance of this or why its even an issue.  The only way I can see how it could be a problem is if a team was misleading the public to confuse who the other team would face.  

 

But Brady missed no time, and played through something that was relatively minor and not in danger of impacting his play.

 

My personal opinion is that teams should NOT have to disclose this info, because after "Bounty Gate" it seems to add an unnecessary level of risk to players to disclose something minor thats not going to affect their availability and create a target for opposing defenses to focus on.  Doesn't mean a coach was literally going to put a bounty on the player, but the players themselves just knowing a key player of an opponent has a minor injury that could be further aggravated in game could tempt them to target that area.

 

So for me...regardless this is Brady, this whole thing is really a non story and a silly rule in the first place given it has literally no impact on the game being played outside potentially putting the players safety further at risk.

I hate to say it, but Tom Brady is the Michael Jordan of football. I would love a chance for the Bills to face him in the Super Bowl and win. That’s my ultimate Bills fan fantasy.

Look, one can debate whether something is a good rule or a bad rule

 

But if it's a rule, shouldn't everyone follow it? 

 

Not a favor of "bad rules were made to be broken".
