The NFL has made its policy on how to treat quarterbacks clear after another ridiculous, absurd and patently stupid penalty on the Packers' Clay Matthews:
Do not touch them.
Do not hit them too hard, either. Don't put your weight on them.
Be delicate. No tussling of hair. Wedgies will lead to ejections. No harsh language, finger-pointing or sarcasm aimed at them. Tickling will be a 15-yard penalty. Talking about a quarterback's momma will lead to a fine.
If the penalties hadn't made the policy clear enough, the NFL even released a statement Sunday to make it clearer: "We strongly encourage all defensive players to not hit the quarterback ever," the letter from commissioner Roger Goodell's office read.
