Just because a hit is vicious, it shouldn't necessarily be deemed illegal, especially if the defender is making a solid form tackle.

Excellent point. I don't understand why people are up in arms about this. Helmet to helmet tackles are just not a good idea. Players need to go back to tackling fundamentals and wrap up the guy you are tackling. This showboating crap is what's causing these injuries and a lot of the crapping tackling that's happening in the league.
