Parcells hater
Im just waiting for him to actually get a pass thrown to him for a TD lol
I'm sure he could end up getting the snot knocked out of him if he's not carefull but if we think about it, sitting in the pocket and getting blindsided by a much bigger lineman is far worse and can happen on every single pass play.....

I've thought about this since the last time we tried the Wildcat.....and if you go back to take a look at when we scored against the chargers with the wildcat formation (when Ricky thre himself at Jammer) you can actually see Pennington getting out of the way rather than putting a block when he clearly had a block on Cason...

glasses, Pennington attempted to block the safety... but just shoved him since ronnie was getting in anyway.
True Oz, but in those pass situations or whenever he's playing normally under center, there's a scheme and a whole line to protect him. He's on his own when he's flanked out there.
Yep and as a flanker there is no one to blindside him unless he turns around and says hit me and that player is only 200 pounds, not 300...
We all know that playing Qb is a dangerous position. The Qb may have a line helping protect him, but protections can break down at any second. Look at what happened to Trent Edwards today and that happened from the front.

again, hes a football player. Not some 5 year old kid standing around... also he sees his opponent. He can see whats coming... hell, he can lay a hit him self.
Definitely true. Unless they do somethign wierd with him like people have been suggesting (sending him in motion), he is probably safer on the side.
Yes Oz. I know that the QB position is dangerous and that protection can and does breakdown all the time. I just think it leaves him open for a cheap shot...and some 200lb or so DBs can hit harder and do more damage than some 300lb linemen, see Ed Reed, M. Harrison, old school R. Lott, etc. etc. etc.
It's just a concern. It's really because I love what they're doing and want it to continue.:D It's great to finally have a competent and reliable QB who can manage a game for us and will not lose the game for us, for this reason, I guess I'm a little paranoid.
