HOF QB Troy Aikman Says NFL Is Going Too Far To Protect Quarterbacks

Hall of Fame QB Troy Aikman said on ESPN Thursday that the NFL is stacking the rules in favor of signal callers.

Said Aikman, via PFT:

“The game of football is very violent. And I’m one of those, as a former quarterback, who has felt that maybe the rules have gotten a little bit too far already in terms of protecting quarterbacks.”

“I don’t know how you teach a defensive lineman to sack the quarterback, and that’s an inherent part of being a successful defensive lineman,” Aikman, now a Fox analyst, said on ESPN.

“I don’t know how you tell a safety who’s trying to drive on a football and break up a pass how not to lead with your head.”
