More 3rd string QB's love this rule than HC's.

Also known as "The Reddick Rule"

Saw this rule coming after what happened to the 49ers in the playoffs. Once a team gets bit in the playoffs it causes rule changes.

Will this change improve quarterback development with time on the carpet and expanded interaction?

Nuh uh...cowboys been bit..and nothing changed..

I hope so. This is a QB driven league and clearly the talent falls off quickly once you get to the bottom half of the league.

They got a hit in the Super Bowl against Pittsburgh when Benny Barnes and Lynn Swann ran into each other that caused Barnes to be flagged for a PI. That resulted in the incidental contact rule the very next season. The Dez catch against Green Bay in the playoffs eventually changed the catch rule.

They still do not know what the rule is or an actual catch. It is subjective just like PI and Roughing the Passer, Offensive Holding as well at times.

It should be kept simple like it used to be. You catch the ball, land with both feet touching, for a few seconds (not getting hit right away, even if no "football move". It is a catch. If the ball is then knocked loose, it is a fumble.

You’ve always had to hang on the ball long enough to at least take a couple of steps. Control of the ball has always had to be there. We’re certainly not seeing the issues we saw prior to the rule change. It’s never going to be perfect, but it has improved.

Unless it would have bit us…then the whole country thinks it’s funny that we mismanaged the roster.

Side note.. I got a feeling that if Grier ever had to play he’d do pretty good.

Not likely. Most teams have a QB on PS if they don’t carry 3 now. I don’t think it changes the number of reps they will get
I think the transfer portal is gonna help develop more QB in time. Instead of sitting behind a guy they can transfer somewhere and play. In time that’s has to develop more players in general but especially QB since reps is the key to them developing

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

It's a pointless rule that everyone will forget exists by November.

Greer likes it because it makes him more employable, is all.

Yeah, it has improved. I'll never forget the Butch Johnson "TD" catch vs. Denver in the SB. My gosh, I didn't think he held onto it long enough but it worked out for the good guys.

Yeah, that catch would’ve been overturned years later with the old catch rule. Even under the rule they had then I’m not sure he held onto it long enough but it worked in the Cowboys favor.
