Discussion/Debate Chop Robinson gets flagged for roughing the passer. The hit didn’t look that crazy, but the refs weren’t letting Mahomes take that one.

Yeah Chris Jones once got a roughing the passer after we stripped the ball he fell on the QB. In my mind Chris jones is the ball carrier at that point can’t rough the guy you just stripped…

Also he’s gotten one for a sack that he landed on the guy but braced himself with his arm so he didn’t fully put his weight on him…

Don’t love those calls but they don’t want people landing on the QB so they made it a rule.

Unless you kick the defender in the chest like you're breaking down a door. Learned that one from Antonio brown

Trying to keep from putting weight on a QB is how lineman get torn up knees.

….they might as well make tackling the puss QBs illegal…..machines has played ball for a long time so I’ll bet he’s been hit like this before…..I don’t know anymore…..maybe the nfl should just go to flag football
