When superstar QB's throw INT's...

andes14 · 2011-10-09T17:12:02-07:00

Do you think they're instructed by their coaches to not try and make the tackle. I'm talking the Tom Brady's, Drew Brees', and Aaron Rodgers' of the world...even if the QB is in position to maybe make a tackle and it might get returned for a TD if he doesn't make an attempt at bringing the defender down, isn't it still probably worth it. Maybe giving up a TD vs. potentially having your franchise guy getting hurt...hmmmm...something I've always wondered...

Personal pride always makes the QB go after the intercepter. Some put more effort into it then others.....

Brady got pick sixed by Drayton Florence against the Bills in the 4th quarter. Tom watched him score. Pats lost.

brady jogs to the guy and watches his teammates tackle him. but i dont have a problem with that, most DBs could run him over.

i don't care one way or the other. but i do not want him taking on blockers, basically do like kickers and punters do. use the sideline as your friend and slow him down.

If you guys knew how much Tom Brady paid to get his bangs cut, you'd understand.

Steve Young was a rare breed of QB.
