Horse collar rule

What is your opinion on this rule? I think it is complete bullshite. It is supposedly for player safety but in almost 40 years of watching football I can't remember ever seeing a player injured while being tackled this way.

They only made the rule after Terrell Owens got hurt with Philly.

TO is the only player i can think of ever substantially injured by it in the NFL
I can imagine college probably had a few injuries just due to the sheer volume of games played

Well maybe be bullshite or not but, I've always chuckeld about the pentality.
Defense makes a horse collar tackle on a hall of fame RB or T. Brady, they blow their knee out or break their leg. 15 yards and keep playing....

The 49ers advanced to the 81 Super Bowl based on a horse collar tackle by Eric Wright in The Catch game before the penalty was instituted

The biggest bullshite rule is that if a defender is on the ground he can't dive at the QB's legs to tackle him...the Brady rule.
What kind of bullshite is that? You used to be able to tackle a QB by his helmet or clotheslining him, head slapping him...
Now the QB has like a strike zone...a defined and limited space where you can touch him...above the knees but below the chest.
I remember when the Niners hit Brees in the chest and he fumbled and that was a penalty.
You can only sack the QB in the most perfect form tackle ever seen and it has to be around the midsection.
That's not football.

The biggest bs rule is if you touch the qbs head and not even tackle him. It's 15 yards and an automatic first down. Horse collar is a fantastic rule. It's a very dangerous way to tackle someone.

College rule change this year has added that grabbing the back of the jersey in the nameplate area is also a horse collar tackle if the ball carrier is immediately pulled down as a result.

Titans fans should remember Tyrone Calico. Just as his career was taking off, Williams drug him down with his signature move and ended it.

I've seen more injuries from horse collar tackles than from face mask tackles. Do you hate that rule?

Your ignorance is noted.
Its dangerous and i have seen examples.
Do you count ham string injuries
Or only broken necks?
