The league promulgated the necessity for much of the unrest with the changing of the rules on how and where you can actually hit the QB. The author here is expressing one mans opinion, my personal stance on the matter I stated in an earlier post in this thread.

Re: Vick is a crybaby
 

I am going to go on record and say that while I don't think it is a conspiracy or anything like that, I feel like Michael Vick is indeed a marked man and the officials certainly know and have known for a while that Vick is not being afforded the same type of treatment as other QB's.

He doesn't have to be Manning or Brady caliber, but as others have rightfully pointed out, the second anyone even gets close to those two there is a flag thrown. Vick is not treated the same way. He has taken alot of hits, many of them illegal, probably some of them with the intent to injure him. He was heated after this last loss and he was just speaking his mind, others have done the same thing. He has since apologized so i don't think it is that big of deal, players do this all the time.

What coach Andy Reid should do is continue to send in the video evidence like he did last year. At some point the refs will be forced to do their job.

So you don't believe Vicks style of play has a thing to do with the hits?

Chris Canty has not received a FedEx envelope from the league for his hit on Vick, so it looks like he won't be fined.
