Supposedly your taste buds lose sensitivity as you age, so we tend to like spicier/more robust flavors as we get older.

I believe it.
I can vouch for this theory.

 

[volamite86]

Im not suprised, too slippery of a slope.

Not really. Would actually be an abundance of caution. You go down with an injury. Can’t come back in till the next series.

 

[Ten_Titans]

SMH

Not sure what sucks more. The fact that this BS kills the offense or the fact that every other game will be 5 freaking hours long again. I thought the damn sun was about to come up at the Ole Miss game. Can't wait to do that **** again.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Yea it might create too much parity and they can’t have that. Next thing ya know, more than 6 teams are good.

Nope its too big of a legal risk. Putting in a rule that forces an injured player to play through an injury, and then they get hurt worse opens up all kinds of holes for lawsuits in this sue happy world. Imagine AT with his ankle injury refuses to come off the field after he tweaks it because of the rule, then breaks his ankle, he goes to the draft and teams dont draft him because his injury was bad. Whatever rule was put into place just cost him millions.
The bigger issue is offenses that rely on pace vs execution. How about having the playcalling and execution to beat your opponent vs only being able to move the ball when theyre mis aligned.

Or.....player doesnt go down because they know they have to sit, then get hurt worse.

This is simple…. Hold out ALL INJURED players for the rest of the series… that way they get help if they’re actually hurt and nobody says well you can’t make a rule because they’re hurt, you can’t judge who’s injured or not whatever… Then it’ll make the Kiffins of the world look stupid

my goodness it's that simple. instead let's run the clock!! that wasnt even an issue.

Ok. So 2 D lineman go down..... A team is down to a walk on that weighs 260ponds to play DT against UGA. Then it becomes a player safety issue.

If they are injured, they'll go down. It's how football has always been played. There is a difference between being injured and hurt.

If they can't field a capable team, they should forfeit.

You cant guarantee that.
Most will get butthurt and disagree, but the bigger issues is offenses that rely more on the gimmick of tempo than execution. Execute better and faking injuries dont matter. But yall arent ready for that conversation.

Not really. Have a rotation of 4 main guys. One goes down the week prior, two go down in that game. Youre down to the 3rd string with walk ons to fill in.

DJ Burns would have been a NBA draft pick had he put the same effort into conditioning as Grant & Admiral did.

Wasted talent, he’s got all the natural talent.

Did you ever play?

Good grief, such a silly argument to make. You know what happens if your players aren't as good or prepared as well as mine?

 

[Ten_Titans]

Lol what? Give me a single hypothetical where that would happen.

Any injury where literally walking to the sideline is going to make it worse, they weren't going to be able to play the remainder of the drive anyway.

 

[Jackcrevol]

ZZ's Mom is raising her 4 yo special needs nephew. My heart swells, good things should happen to amazing people!

well done VN!

Yeah, they shouldve never allowed the forward pass gimmick either.

Straw mans arguement

Like I said earlier. Player sprains his ankle, doesnt go off because he knows he cant come back. Stays on the field ends up tearing a ligament. Goes to the draft ends up un drafted due to injury concerns. New rule just cost a kid millions.

What does preparedness have to do with size?

Ok, let me make it simple for you. You're wrong.

It is the game and that's a decision HE made at that point. You don't agree that people should endure the consequences of their own decisions, while they know the risk? Or do you think everyone should have a babysitter to hold their hand?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

So you have no argument. Got it.

Twss or TwHs?

Is Zion the next Sam Bowie?
