Definitely a different game nowadays.
But I do think that Brady is very good at avoiding the sack and tougher than most give him credit for.
Just because he doesn't get HIT, doesn't mean that he couldn't take a big HIT; then again, why would I want him to? Doesn't make him a better QB because he can take a hit. It does allow QB's to play longer while they are at the tops of their games, and that has been a good thing. Still................
I AGREE, and think that we've gone from one extreme to the other. Hopefully the pendulum will swing back before long and allow clean FOOTBALL HITS to the QB, not KILL the QB LT/Theismann types of hits.
