JFC one of the worst arguments in CP history.

Because it's pretty ****ing easy to comprehend that rule.

"Falling to the ground with no effort to advance the ball."

McCluster caught the ball and fell to the ground without making a "football move" to advance the ball.

It's either an incomplete pass or a catch and down by that rule. There's no two ways about it besides a bunch of challenged readers trying to invent their own definition of the rule.

But I'm done talking about a simple definition now. It was a year ago on a 2-14 team.

I'll try this one more time.

McCluster "never declared himself down" by falling, kneeling, etc... He simply fell down in the process of making the catch and to further show he wasn't "declaring himself down" he tried to stop himself from falling down. In the process of trying to stop his fall, he injured his arm and this injury caused him to let go of the ball. He never got the chance to try to advance the ball because he was injured and fumbled the ball due to this injury.

When I started this thread, I was not thinking about that McCluster fumble at all. I was thinking about a fumble I saw Thursday night, I think in the Atlanta Baltimore game. The ball carrier was hit and landed on his shoulder/back and the ball popped out. They called it a fumble. Sure seemed down to me.

In this instance, I agree. He should have been called down.
