Tom Brady: NFL should take hits on WRs' knees 'out of the game of football'

https://www.nfl.com/news/tom-brady-nfl-should-take-low-hits-on-wrs-out-of-the-game-of-football

What would that look like from a tackling standpoint? No head, neck, shoulder, or leg contact during the tackle?

Strap on the VR goggles and hit like there's no tomorrow. All the hitting is virtual. You may still feel the pain but aha that's just your brain tricking you as a response to the VR stimulus. The future of football the players just play the game from their respective lockers room. It's like Enders game but with football.

I guess. Maybe players should wear different colors over the safe zones where they're allowed to be hit.

I get why they should do more to protect players below the knees, but it's getting to be impossible to play defense without getting penalized, especially DB.

From the goats mouth above he said it right. It shouldn't be the defenders job to protect his opponent.

Princess should retire..

Brady cries more than any player I can remember. During the game, after the game, now on the radio. They change rules for him and he's still crying. The NFL has made it almost impossible to tackle a QB during his era and he is still crying. Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady; two of the greats of this generation and can't stop crying.

If it was someone on the Saints that got hurt from the same exact tackle and it was not Godwin, Brady would keep his mouth shut.

Lol not sure if serious or just joking.

What Brady has done in his career is the most impressive thing I've ever witnessed in my life watching sports. He is the Michael Jordan of football.

Well, he did grow up a "Forty-Whiner" fan…

Only because it affects him is he complaining about it.

Otherwise anyone else, doesn't matter who the player he would be quiet.

Cmon Brady GTFO with this.

Tom Brady in September:

"A quarterback should only throw the ball to certain places, because your receiver is in danger of getting hit. If you're a quarterback you gotta protect yourself and your players," Brady said. "It shouldn't be the responsibility of your opponent to protect you. It creates really bad habits for players because you feel like 'I can basically do anything. I can run and not slide, I can throw my receiver into any coverage and not have any repercussion for it.' The only thing they're gonna do is they're actually going to blame the defensive player for making a good solid hit, and now the defensive player is going to feel like, 'Oh I can't do that,' even though I feel like it was an offensive mistake.

In the end, I think it's a disservice to the sport because the sport isn't being played at a high level like I believe that it once was. It actually deteriorates because you're not teaching the players the reasons and the fundamentals of what the sport should be."

Can't hit a guy too high....can't hit em too low.....which is it? Seriously, this guy has been a great QB....one of the best ever, but his production is largely....LARGELY due to all the rules that have protected him, and coddled offenses to a point where it's simply not the same game as it was 30 years ago. That, and his voodoo, snake oil doctor Alex Guerrero and whatever HGH-type nonsense he uses.....his protection off the field is on par with it on. Makes it very difficult to take anything from him seriously.

And he's also a petulant child, a cheat and an incredibly poor loser. His tantrums are downright embarrassing .
