Legal the same way the hit on Pierre was legal in the playoff game against the 49'ers. I agree, it's stupid but hey... the NFL is run by idiots.

In your Pierre Thomas hit example we learned...(what we already knew)

To make a legal hit that knocks a player out of a game results in:

1) saving your team from a touchdown against
2) a forced fumble on your stat line
3) your ball
4) the teams leading rusher missing the rest of the game
5) your highlight video on sports center and the NFL network repeatedly for the next week

But on the other hand, to encourage legal hits that knock a player out of the game in the locker room will result in a year off with no pay. (what we're learning now)

It's all about player safety.

I think saying "it's stupid but hey... the NFL is run by idiots" sums it up well.
