I heard several all time great DE's joking that sacking a guy 4 times in the old days would have a seen a QB lucky to finish the game. AD confirmed that it wasn't the play before the sack of Oompa Lumpa that injured his ribs but the sack itself. AD changed the way he sacked QB's when they changed the rules to protect the QB (give them a freakin' red jersey on game day, why dontcha!). Having RW's fat ass rolling on a guy, forced to be easy on him, injured AD. If AD had driven him into the ground, no injury would have to happened to our most valuable player in the playoffs.

Let's ask Deacon if that's fair to QB's?

Actually, restoring the former rules where QB's have to make business decisions about the holding the ball too long, would make the importance of the ground game increase and return the NFL back to what it used to be, instead of virtual red shirt positions like QB's and Kickers being as important.
