[QUOTE="USArmyParatrooper, post: 511692, member: 9205"] You're either not getting it or you're deliberately trying to avoid the point. A quarterback (more specifically, a passer) standing in the pocket on a conventional pass play is [I]also[/I] an offensive threat, but by NFL rules is afforded certain protections that other ball carriers (running backs, full backs, etc) are not afforded. Hence, special rules about "roughing the passer" that don't apply to running backs. The VP of NFL officiating stated that during a read option play the passer loses protection normally afforded to a passer, simply because it's a read option. If the passer [I]is not running with the ball[/I], why? [/QUOTE]
