One can make the argument that Brady is now coddled on late hits whenever he scrambles because of his age/status. Brady sometimes slides late and players still make superhuman efforts to avoid him. But during regular season I've plenty of NFL players coddle Mahomes when they could have hit him much harder on runs. They probably do not want to be known as someone that possibly ruined Mahomes career on a cheap but legal out of bounds hit. Lamar Jackson until relatively recently was getting very few late hit calls on him but this year he has gotten some of those calls. The NFL may market its stars a little bit but end of the day, one could get rid of every starting quarterback and the 50 best skill position players after that and within 2-3 years, the ratings would be back to near normal. The same can't be said for the NBA.... In the NFL the product sells itself so there is no reason for the league itself to want to coddle players too much. That doesn't mean the NFL doesn't want to protect quarterbacks/receivers from injury/concussions...they obviously do since if half of those players end up with brain injuries, it makes the sport look bad. But it is not like irreplaceable star players are truly driving the ratings. Gambling probably drives the NFL more than anything else and the stars like Mahomes are not needed for folks to be gambling on games. |

That Marino stat is funny as Mahomes will always be better than Marino given the trophies he has already put on the shelf (Marino is missing a big trophy!)
