'Tuck Rule': NFL proposes change
7 replies
xphinfanxforum_veteranOPThe change would make it so a player loses possession when he tries to bring the ball back to his body. (Yes, then Tom Brady's play should have been ruled a fumble in that case.) If the passer loses control while the ball is going forward, it's still incomplete. If he loses the ball while tucking, it's a fumble.
About time!!!
That's why they play the games!:yes:

That's a good point. I always thought that the rule was illogical.
DolfanTomNew MemberWell finally, this should've been a big fat DUH about 11 years ago after that happened. Rule was obviously flawed and shown to be on a big stage, and it took them this long to address it?

TooGoodForDezNew Memberthe most ridiculous proposal is that a RB cannot lower the shoulders anymore.

MrCleansubscriberDo they have Tammy Brady's permission to eliminate the tuck rule?
