That is simply not true at all.

????????????????????????????????????

They talk about upping the fines, ejections, suspensions every year. For hitting a QB in the head, in his legs, or even just driving him into the ground. This was not the case 10 years ago.

Thats just the punishment, thats not stopping the qb hits, sacks etc.   They are not making it harder to hit the qb but they are upping the penalties and fines on "illegal" hits.

those are huge fines... its causing players to change the way they are tackling. Demarcus Lawrence said that he and other NFL players have been training in Judo to practice takedowns that they wouldnt get fined for. He shared that trying to distribute your weight away from the QB when tackling is the only way they can avoid fines. 

Players are paid weekly in the NFL... "game day checks" and those 25k fines are taking huge chunks out of their paychecks, bc the 25k fine isnt taxed.. they have to pay that after being taxed from their game day checks. 

You are being naive to think that these players are not being cautious now with these rules and limitations in place.

So sacks and qb hits should be going down right?

QB hits are already down...

... sacks and hits are part of the game but the type of hits and sacks QBs take in the modern NFL are drastically different than years past. 

That is the point the poster is making.

If he was 6’1+ we probably wouldn’t have a shot at him

We'd have traded for Fields instead of the #1 pick

A lackluster offence that was wall-to-wall blue chip prospects?

Are you trolling or...?

What is an “illegal” hit has changed quite a bit
