Trey Lance szn!
Best news I've ready all day. I hope Dak is done in Dallas after this year.
Intentional grounding fouls are way up (59 in 2023) and take a long time to administrate. There should be a rule change proposal aimed at reducing fouls and protecting QBs.
evidently the change they are gonna propose will be to make no distinction between the quarterback being in the pocket or out of the pocket as there is now. So the QB will only have to get the ball back to the line of scrimmage to avoid a grounding penalty. Big ass fucking lame as fuck change if it passes.
We're also banning another type of tackle. I could definitely foresee a flag situation within 10 years, especially if one of their "darlings" like Mahomes gets hurt.Dumb. If anything, there should be way more grounding penalties. Just make the QBs wear a red jersey and a flag at this point.

I feel like they don't look as closely at the ball making it back to the line of scrimmage as they should. I think they're also a bit generous at times with the eligible receiver in the area rule. Conversely, I also recall a few plays this year where they called it on what appeared to be a miscommunication between the wr/qb where there wasn't really any pressure. Overall, I don't think there really needed to be a change other than maybe making it a reviewable call.I feel like intentional grounding was finally called as often as it should be this past season.
On the surface I like that they're making no distinction between in the pocket and out of the pocket .... but I want it to go the other way. Intentional grounding no matter where you are in the backfield. It's sort of a bullshit penalty right now anyway. It's the same as a sack except no one gets credit for it. So if you're going down anyway, just fucking ground it. You admit the defense won that play and take your painless sack like a fucking pussy. If anything changes it should be to give the closest defensive player credit for the sack.I feel like they don't look as closely at the ball making it back to the line of scrimmage as they should.
