When did roughing the passer become a rule?

Nobody is ever happy with referees. But during Week 5 of the 2022 NFL season, players, coaches and fans were all particularly upset with the officials. Throughout the week, there were several questionable roughing the passer calls, notably involving Tom t and Derek Carr that left everyone scratching their head. As a result of the controversies, NFL owners reportedly will meet in New York to discuss the topic. There aren’t expected to be any immediate changes to the call, however. Here’s a look at the official rule, history and frequent offenders of roughing the passer: What is roughing the passer in the NFL? How does roughing the passer works? Can you tackle a QB from behind? When was roughing the QB implemented?

1940

Roughing the passer was implemented in 1940, according to the NFL rulebook. It was obviously enforced a lot differently back then, but the rule was born at that time. The league made a number of changes by 1940, including the 15-yard roughing the passer penalty.

You're kidding right? I know I'm a little older than you but I loved football when staubach and bradshaw were a thing and the Dolphins actually went undefeated and it was fun to watch.
 
Dallas "Dooms Day" defense and Pittsburgh's "Steel Curtain" use to put a good ole ass-whupping on QB's. In the 80's New York Giants LB Lawrence Taylor punished QB's. A QB didn't have all the protection that Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers have today.

No....You're like 25-years older than I am. I wasn't watching football before the Super Bowl Era when the Green Bay Packers won all those NFL titles, back when the only had 8 teams playing at the time. I wasn't around in 1940 asshat. Your like my grand daddy's age. :bigass:
 
I wasn't around in 1940 either crackhead.

I just know all the rules of the game and when they were implemented because I'm a fan.
 
Venooker! When you started watching football, they had leather helmets without a face mask, and didn't wear CUPS (a protective gear to protect your jewels/nut sack. Mothafuckers pretty much played in the dirt. When you started watching football, niggers didn't play, Football was a white only sport<<<My bad! jews weren't allowed to play back then.

But seriously Venooker.

What is roughing the passer in the NFL?

Roughing the passer was implemented with the intention of protecting the quarterback. Since these players are the most valuable – and particularly vulnerable – they are given this special protection. To put it in the simplest terms, a penalty is called if a passer is, in the referee’s judgment, dealt an unwarranted hit that was avoidable by the defender. If a flag is thrown, it is a 15-yard penalty and an automatic first down for the offense.
 
NFL roughing the passer rules, explained: What to know about controversial penalty, history of changes to protect QBs
The one that was called came in the late moments of Buccaneers vs. Falcons. With the Falcons looking to get the ball back to put together one more drive, Grady Jarrett spun Tom Brady to the ground for what looked like a routine sack. Instead, the flag was thrown, and the Buccaneers bled the clock to zero.

NFL fines Tampa Bay's Tom Brady $11K for kick
It's not the first time Brady has been fined for attempting to kick another player. In 2013, Brady was fined $10,000 for attempting to kick former Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed.

As I said in response to the OP (from your link:

When did roughing the passer become a rule?​

The roughing the passer penalty dates back to 1940. This was around the renaissance of passing in the NFL, when the league was becoming more pass-friendly.

It was part of a variety of other rules intended to help promote the passing game.

Roughing the passer then and now​

When roughing was implemented in 1940, it looked largely the same as it does now.

The biggest difference over the years is the addition of the language preventing players from putting their body weight on a QB during a sack (which, incidentally, has become some of the most controversial language).

Otherwise, the flags for late hits were still in place.

The other change came in 2009 with the so-called "Brady Rule." After Tom Brady was sidelined in 2008 after suffering a torn ACL in the Patriots' season opener, the NFL added language preventing defenders from lunging at quarterbacks' knees to prevent those kinds of injuries from occurring again.

Controversy around this rule will continue to persist, as it has for years, but the NFL is calling games this way to protect its product. As long as these quarterbacks stay healthy, don't expect to see the rules changing again any time soon.

Like Eggs says "you're not all there"
 
what makes you more of an expert on NFL rules than i. i'm a fan of football, basketball.

who really gives two-nickles about rules, good or bad calls. I just go with the calls during play time.

I just let the so-called experts explain that shit. all I know is, if that roughing the penalty wasn't called tampa bay might have lost the game.

tom brady should have been penalized for that kick. which tampa bay would have definitely lost.

oh yeah vappooper!. I got you spamming the tk center all day with just 4 threads.
 
yeah right! do you expect us to believe the words that you right? not!

the 'agony of defeat'' is not just a sports forum (30%), its also a sports information forum (70%).
 
I get what this thread is about. I know Brady gets special treatment. Not a secret.

Totally bullshit call. That was a legal hit.

The tackler did put his knee in his face, so then there's that. Ref's can conjure up anything if they have a reason.
