BBTV Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 4 hours ago, Sec19Row53 said: It was intended to allow teams to not play injured players by letting them sit the guys who were hurt. If a team chooses to NOT dress a third QB (or even carry one on their roster), that's on the team, not on a league rule. Right. Otherwise you'd see more IRing even if it's only a couple-week injury. Would have been worse when IR was the whole season, but I think that's the spirit of the rule. Coaches are always going to want more. Give them 46, they'll want 47. Give them 53, they'll want 60. IIRC, it used to be 45 + emergency QB, and if you put him in, then QB1 and QB2 were officially done for the day. Then they made it 46 and said "use it however you want". It's totally on the teams. For a regular season game, then sure - don't use a 3rd-string QB and if 1 and 2 get hurt, then figure it out later and come back next week. But for a game against the best DL and most sacks in the league, with QB1 being a rookie, it would probably have been wise to have a QB3 on the roster since there's no next week. I'm not saying it's a no-brainer, because you're probably Fd either way, and it's unlikely they would have put up enough points regardless, but it was still a choice that they consciously made. 2 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I figure that, at least for the spectator, might be chalked up to the fact that flag and tackle may use the same ball, but tend to be so different that strategies that work in flag tend to not work in tackle, and vice versa. What I mean by this is that while flag rulesets universally substitute flag pulls for tackling, few of them substitute anything for the act of blocking, and consequently, unlike tackle, there are no dedicated linemen. Ergo, flag strategies tend to look like there are too many moving parts. This dude explains it much better than I did, and offered solutions.

They DO LET YOU HAVE A THIRD QB. They ended the emergency QB thing, and expanded the roster to accommodate. Teams consciously choose to not use that spot for a QB. That's on the coach. Maybe they should change the rule and require an OL to block a DL, then we're not having this conversation. Stolen from you? They lost by 24! I think I might possibly have more sympathy for the Niners had they not, like, gotten completely dominated and tripped over their own dicks all game long. I have no idea what they’re on about when it comes to this one. 2 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

See Red Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I agree with Mahomes. I like Hurts but I think Philly would get by better without him than KC without Mahomes. Crazy that Mahomes has been a starter for five years and is basically already a hall of fame lock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes and the Chiefs didn't play the schedule the Eagles did. Mahomes is great, but Hurts was more valuable and had a higher winning percentage as QB this year for an unexpected 1 seed. People get wrapped up in narrative and miss what's right in front of them.

I really wish they’d change the name to “most outstanding player” - in ALL sports. It does hurt you if you’re on a totally stacked team like Hurts is, because unless you’re following every game like a local fan would, it’s tough to assess his value until he’s hurt. Either way, there’s arguments for either to win, so I don’t feel like either would have been “screwed”. Ultimately, Hurts’ injury lost it for him (if you follow Vegas odds, which are typically indicative of who will win). But no MVP has won a Super Bowl since Kurt Warner in 99 (hard to believe!) 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Until then, all bets are off. *I wouldn't be a bit surprised if I'm the only person on these here boards who has ever seen that movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
