that Steelers hit was completely different... they were just trying to force VY to the ground and he fell weird... McClain actually lifted the guy off the ground and slammed him down

I'll admit, it was not necessary for McClain to do that... but it was was still sav'd out

I don't see a difference but oh well.... I take that back, the only difference that I see was one defender dipping a wr vs three defenders dipping a qb.

If McClain got flagged then the Harrison from the Steelers should've been flagged too. Both players got dipped.

If that was Peyton Manning or Tom Brady the refs would've thrown a flag. The Ravens Suggs' was flagged for a regular form tackle on Carson Palmer.

Not really, especially with all these new rules protecting the qb. Vince Young was body slammed. The Rams WR was suplexed. Both are wrestling moves. They both were taken off of their feet... That's why I said there are both similar. Vince's looked worse because it looks like he got slammed on his head.

If that was Petyon Manning or Tom Brady getting dipped like that, that would have been a flag.

Vince Young suffered an abrasion on his knuckles when he was slammed to the ground by Steelers linebacker James Harrison and defensive end Brett Keisel in the third quarter.

Some Titans complained the Steelers should have been flagged for unnecessary roughness.

“Those types of things like that don’t bother me,’’ Young said. “But eventually when I get to be a top five quarterback in the league then I might get those calls. But right now, I’m way below so I’m not going to get those calls.’’

"You say if that happened to (Tom) Brady or that happened to so-and-so or so-and-so there would have been seven flags on the field," Fisher said. "Why wasn't there one yesterday? I don't know. Maybe it was the heat."

Idiot^ you should've never drafted him then if you're going to complain. Common or football sense should've told you that he was/is on a terrible team with no qb so all the defenses that they play against will focus on stopping the run.
