Excessive use of rudder

There have been many professional views expressed here about the incident but surely common sense says that one does not use violent and full activation of the rudder in any aircraft - especially in one where the feedback to the pilot is not quantitive.

All my training - general and service avaition only and some time ago - taught smooth and increasing pressure, never rapid and opposite.
