Cfb targeting rules are horrendous.
That being said, much as I hate subjective rules, the nfl should explore rules about clear targeting leading to ejection if the targeting knocks the opposing player out to concussion.
You may not like pussifying the game. I don't either. But I'm tired of watching good players get knocked out of games by serial cheap shot artists while the defender gets a slap on the wrist. The game is meant to be played with the best players on the field. If I'm a DC knowing these rules can take out Brady, I'll take the 15 yards and fine every single time.
