As a former QB ( not a very good one ), I say no......especially if your backup isn't very good. It's just too easy to suffer an injury. I understand what FreshStang is trying to say. However, IMO I don't think you can really tackle someone half-speed trying not to hurt them....probably end up getting hurt yourself.

Just my 2 cents.

Last I heard, the QB is a part of the 11 players on offense.  I say hit him.  If you don't want to hit the QB, how about no hitting?  Just play flag football in practice and see how prepared you are on Friday nights...  These are Teenage boys, not men in their late 30's or early 40's.  If the QB don't want to get hit, bring somebody in that don't mind getting hit or hitting somebody.  This is my 2 cents...

I agree--and if his last name is close to ROMO----BLITZ HIM  :-[

should a QB get hit in practise?

yes but no...

a QB should NOT be beaten on play after play if given the chance...

BUT

i think that the QB needs some contact!! it's called practise because thats exactly what you're going to do in the game on friday nights! you think the other team is going to run past the QB? heck no! their going to rough him up as bad as they can!!

now, im not saying you should go 100% full force into the guy but give him a little bump here and there and at least wrap him up!

when i practised the rule was NOT to touch the QB no matter the scenario but the QB can do whatever he wants to the defense and get away with it?

wrap him up but dont drive him to the ground going 100%....

thats my opinion about it...

Even back in the late 70's and early 80's a quarterback wore a red jersey. Which meant you did not hit the QB. Now if the QB took it upon himself to hit a helpless defender, he paid the price. The coaches made sure of it. The QB learned quick.

IMO, generally no, unless it's very controlled.  They have plenty of opportunities to get hit in the game.  You don't want your 1st string QB going into a game with sore passing arm or a bummed up leg.  The first time that happens in practice, you'll change your mind.

I agree, not worth the risk, nothing wrong with light contact but no sacks. you really don't want that in a real game so why practice. I think he understands the threat just by seeing what is on the other side of his offensive line!

      Financial advice from kamala harris

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up From the article: “As a parent, then as a homeowner, if you have some equity in your home, then you can say to your child, you know, ‘don’t take out the loan,’” she said. “‘I’ll take out some of the equity to help you pay for tuition so that you don’t graduate with extraordinary student loan debt, and so that when you graduate, you can do your dream job.’” Essentially, Harris suggested that parents give their kids a leg up in the world by being the ones to take out a loan instead. Except theirs would have much higher stakes than just needing to be paid back — it could mean losing their home. 🤦‍♂️

      It has been frustrating seeing the lack of coverage from virtually EVERY media outlet.  We (Chester) are in the SE Texas coverage area.  There are no radio broadcast from our area, and Ch 12 is the only one that has even mentioned it.   I know I could have gotten donations to cover a SETX Sports broadcast.  Oh well, water under the bridge - we aren’t as big as Silsbee, WO-S or PN-G.
