I get the argument: QB's have all these special rules that pretty much makes any contact on them illegal - that doesn't mean they are on the same level as kickers.
Kickers, generally, don't even have a THREAT of getting hit. On top of that QB's touch the ball on every offensive play save FG's and punts. I agree that QB's have some pretty panzy rules made for them... but then you see games like when favre was getting beat down against teh saints and it is a nice reminder: This is football, and yes, QB's can be hit. As long as their name isn't Peyton Manning.
