Yes, tackling the quarterback is allowed in football, but there are specific rules governing how and when it can be done. Defenders can tackle the quarterback as long as he is in possession of the ball and not in a protected position, typically after a pass attempt. However, the NFL and College Football have implemented rules to protect quarterbacks from excessive hits, especially in cases where they are considered defenseless or have already thrown the ball. Violating these rules can result in penalties for roughing the passer.
