It came upon me not too long ago that this rule is more specifically tailored to Brady than perhaps it should be.
The one thing that seemed to bother him and his offense was the blitz (on either the rare occasion they didn't know the play before hand, or they decided to let it go).
Yeah, that's right. Pressure, getting a hand in his face, that is what stopped him the most.
While pressure seemingly affects all quarterbacks, Brady seems to stick out like a thorn in its affect. Some quarterbacks are simply not affected, while there are a rare few others (a B.R. from Pittsburgh) that seem to actually have better stats while being hit or on the run.
Oh, and that play where he got hurt, it was a blitzing safety who hit him.
Just throwing that out there.
The Tom Brady-fication of the league needs to stop.
