A Proposition to Roger Goodell, Regarding Quarterbacks

Dear Commissioner Goodell,

As you may or (apparently) may not know, there is a growing controversy over the rule being implemented this year on how quarterbacks are hit -- while either holding the ball or immediately after releasing it.

Well, Mr. Goodell, I have a solution for you, that I think wins for both sides.

When a defensive player gets within a certain distance of the quarterback, he simply raises his hands up and yells "SACK!"

How could this not fail, Mr. Goodell? The quarterbacks will remain untouched, and therefore unbroken. Because of this rule, we may never have to suffer through (*gasp*) another Tom Brady-less year. Plus, the defenses will still get to play at 100%.

The refs can decide how close it is you need to be to yell sack, and naturally it should change from game to game, as the current rule also works. Ties, should naturally go to the quarterback, cos we all know offense is the be-all and end-all of all that football is.

Thank you for your consideration,

--Knuttel
