Roughing The Passer Calls Are Ridiculous


Recommended Posts

The roughing the passer penalties are getting ridiculous. What is a defensive player suppose to do? I guess the NFL should just require that the QB wear a red shirt during the game just like he does in practice so no one touches him. Aaronn Rogers said it's getting ridiculous. He said the game is the only place a QB can show his toughness and now they are pampering them in games also. I wish a couple of smartarse defensive guys would get to the QB, one grab him by the shoulders and the other grab him by the feet and gently set him down on the ground as not to harm him but treat him like a baby. The way this new penalty is being enforced has already changed the outcome of some games and have kept teams from winning games they should have. If this keeps up the new league that is going to start up may just put the No Fun League out of business or make them rethink their stupid rules.They aren't playing checkers out there. This is a collision sport and these guy knew it from the very first time they ever put on the pads. They choose to play this game and get paid lots of money to play it. It may sound sinister but injuries are a part of football. The players know they can be injured anytime they step on that field. If they want to eliminate or lower the risk of injury. Then take the pads off and give them flags.

I envisioned the exact same thing today. YES!

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
