Vick not getting protected by refs

[ejiminee]

Michael doesn't think the referees are throwing enough flags when he gets hit.

Vick gets the same protection from the refs other Qb's get. I bet the Eagles are missing Kolb right now.

They're not throwing enough flags in my opinion, but it shouldn't be as many as he thinks probably.

IF Brady got hit like Vick has been..... there would be flags.... just saying


and I'm NOT a Vick fan

Vick gets hit more because he's a scrambling QB.....seems like common knowledge, no?

Of course, but it doesn't change the fact if its a flag that they'd throw for Tom Brady, it should be thrown for Vick, no?

Vick needs to watch Roethlisberger game tape and quit crying. What a sissy

This x10000000000000000. Roethlisberger is (as crazy as it sounds), a Vick type, in the sense that he moves around a ton, and is tough to bring down. Big Ben gets hit just as much as Vick does, but you don't see him crying.

It drives me NUTS, but it's tough to discredit just how good Roethlisberger is at extending plays.
