I'm all for real football, but with the way they have protected qb's over the last 6 years or so, how can that be deemed legal
after an int or fumble, the QB is no longer a QB but a defender that is attempting to tackle the ball carrier.
taking a defender out of the play ensures that he will not bring down your ball carrier.

It was cheap, but QB has to be looking for those type of hits after an INT.

In 1999, I'd agree with you. But the NFL has gone out of their way to protect the qb's, even after turnovers. The NFL suspended Sean Payton because the Saints defense layed out Kurt Warner (how many times was that hit played over and over?).
Just surprised by the NFL statement, that's all.

Eh. If he is near the ball or actively getting involved in the play, yes.
Watch Peyton or Aaron Rodgers next time they throw an interception early in a game, they'll actually run to the sidelines. The chance of them getting hurt far outweighs the potential of them stopping the ball carrier. Brady is bi-polar with this, as sometimes he'll run to the sideline, other times he'll take on like 5 blockers.
