NFL Gameday Week 1 • Page 28

Like even the fake spike.. once you fake that spike you kinda gotta commit. It still forces you to make a decision

 

throwing the ball away is making a decision

 

What is throwing out of bounds, a spasm?

 

Lol okay I’m going to bed. Wake me on Sunday when Lawrence throws an incomplete and it shatters the integrity of sports haha

 

Literally the “fumble” vs the Pats in the playoffs. It all boils back to that.

 

Literally almost woke beads up laughing at this lmao

 

what I’m saying is there’s other rules in place for things like this. As in, scrambling out of the pocket first, which forces the QB to take the play a little seriously… since often you can’t just immediately roll out, you’ll hit the DE

 

The rule exists relative to pressure though...

 

That’s literally not for things like this though, as stated repeatedly it is for an entirely different purpose and scenario

 

I regret saying anything about how we shouldn’t talk about the no-call OPI. I had no idea this was the alternative discussion

 

Look we can argue in circles all night but I think throwing the ball away from the pocket in 2 seconds is stupid lol, either call a clock management play or call a real play, this feels more like taking advantage of a leaky rule than the rule intentionally making space for QBs to do that. You guys are right that other QBs do it but I really feel like only Brady can get away with being super obvious about it 3 plays in a row

 

There's nothing to get away with!!!! It's legal

 

Anyone can get away with it because there’s no rule against it!!!

 

Like at a certain point if him being allowed to do that is up to interpretation then so is being “under pressure”

 

Brady can “get away” with it because he’s well protected and can make the reads fast enough to do so

 

Lol literally any QB that has played in the forward pass era can do it precisely 4 times in a row if they’d like

 

If Brady does it five times in a row, you'll have a point

 

Omg I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be an asshole but I can’t believe this conversation literally included you saying “I guess I just know the rule better”

 

I remain unconvinced that the rule is fine as is

 

Truly, football season is back haha

 

because he was quoting a section of it that included a discretionary detail i was being specific about

 

Lol no one is even arguing that. But you keep saying Brady is getting away with violating a version of the rule you just made up and implemented universally lol

 

The argument isn't "this rule is fine", it's what you are talking about is not relevant to the rule at all and you keep saying "getting away with" shows you don't understand what the rule is and what it is for.

 

Unless someone goes offsides!
