San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman is the latest player to criticize the NFL's roughing-the-passer rules emphasized this season.
The veteran provided an alternate solution in a tweet Monday:
Richard ShermanMy question is why won’t they just put flags on the QBs? They would rarely hit the ground then. Guys would be able to grab the flags and that would be a sack. Guys are losing thousands of dollars just doing their job. Something has to change.
The 49ers are coming off a 29-27 loss to Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4, although they were the beneficiaries of three roughing-the-passer calls against Chargers defenders.
