The hit was high and the defensive players just can't do that, no matter how tall the QB is. Their gameplan for sacking the QB, if given the chance, should take into account what the QB size is to avoid this type of penalty.

Hell, really the defense should really take into account who the QB is also, who will get the flag quicker a hit on Peyton Manning or a hit on Blaine Gabbert?

Disagree with a couple of your statements here.
First off in today's game and the mode of player safety, blows like this to the head or neck area that could have been prevented will and should be fined. Brooks could have hit Brees lower, he wasn't blocked at all and could have nailed Drew in the midsection but chose to swing his arm high.
Second, it shouldn't matter who the QB is they should all benefit from the same calls.
