2024 NFL Season Thread

I agree with CD. I believe they've actually put a fake slide rule in where if a QB fakes the slide he's down at the start of the fake - at least in college. If the QB crosses the line of scrimmage they should be treated as a runner

Then you are going to have QBs getting hurt at a huge rate as DBs and LBs go to take there heads off. Do you want to see Love out for the season with a injury?

I want Love to not fart around and go down early

That’s still leaving too much up to ref interpretation during the speed of a game. Unless you’re talking making QB slide three yards away from any defender.

If you want to be a runner then get treated like one. If you’re wearing less pads than an RB then don’t run.

Actually yes, I think 5 yards is right. Anything closer than that, QBs should be taught to brace for a hit, not rely on a slide.

Interpretation is already part of the game, the comparison I would make is to an uncatchable ball. Refs will pick up a DPI flag or not throw one if a pass was too far over thrown. Similarly, they can refuse to throw a flag for a late slide. Just pick it up and say, no foul on the play, the slide was late. It’s just a matter of guidance for the refs and teams and players. I don’t think it happens often enough to be an issue.

That’s the way it used to be. QBs just learned not to be dumb. It’s giving QB an unfair advantage the way the rules are now. Don’t want your QB to get hurt in a run play? Don’t let him run.
 
Crybaby Campbell doing the same crap in SF that he did in GB. Blamed everyone but himself when the Packers cut him and now refused to play in a game in SF.

49ers LB De'Vondre Campbell refusesd to enter Thursday night’s game against the Rams after losing his starting spot.

If I was his coaches I would have warned him that he better not be in the locker room when the players come back because if he is he's getting tossed out even if he's in his underwear.

Thinking of it this way - one of the reasons "running" Qb's are more successful today than historically is because in the past, once a QB started running he was "fair game". And especially now, when many of the qb's that run more aren't as big as the "stereotypical" pocket passer . . .
