To all the NFL fans, do you feel bad about the quarterbacks, reflecting what troy said earlier?

I guess Troy Polamalu think NFL is become a pansy league, but still he has to think from an offensive player's perspective. The quarterbacks cant protect themselves sometimes, they cant block a defense like Hines Ward. Some of them are in their late 30's, the only thing that drive them to play is perhaps getting a shot to earn a ring in their career. So i think NFL needs to do MORE to protecting the quarterbacks and receivers!. Look at what happend to TOm Brady, Carson Palmer, Big Ben, and Rich Gannon. Not everybody is "tough" as Brett Favre. I know defense is trying to be physical, but still you have to think from a perspective from an Offensive player
