Football This is the Future of the NFL

Megatron96 · 10-13-2022, 03:23 PM

I watched the Herd last night on YT and he brought this up, and unfortunately i agree.

The NFL is never going to relax their restrictions on how a QB may/may not be tackled, and the league wants QBs protected even more than ever before, as w saw the fallout after the Tua thing.

So forget highlight reels of pass rushers lighting up the screen with a dramatic game-changing sack sooner rather than later, people. It's heading rapidly towards two-hand touch on the QB.

But in the very immediate future, we can look forward to this example of how the league is going to want QBs 'sacked.'

What do you suppose Pat's dress size is anyway?

They will still allow Mahomes to be hit.

Mahomes is literally the face of the NFL and has already forced 2 OT rule changes in 4 years.

The league doesn't have anything out for Mahomes, you all need to get over your PTSD from pre-Mahomes.

The rule change this year only became a rule because it benefited Mahomes against the Bills. The league had absolutely no problem with the rule when it benefited Brady in the same situation 3 years earlier.

He does not. Though the reality nearly no QB does. Tua will going forward, so long as MIA remains relevant.

Mahomes really doesn't allow himself to be hit. I've never seen a Chief QB slide and run away from contact more in my entire life. Now Im happy he does it. He should continue doing it. It will hold large dividends later in his career. Guys like Lamar and Josh Allen routinely let themselves get into harms way and it'll catch up to them

This may be true when he takes off running, but unfortunately he takes a lot of hard hits hanging in the pocket. I'd like to see the team protect him better by improving the Oline and designing more quick short passes and runs for games where mahomes is under heavy pressure, which seems like a lot these days.

He takes a ton of hits throwing the ball. Cardinals, Chargers, Colts, Raiders have all smashed him quite a bit this year. He was very fortunate against the Bucs that his knee or ankle were not ruined on that crazy TD play near the goal line.

We're fortunate that Mahomes has double-jointed knees.

Exactly, he is the recipient of a lot of late hits. I keep waiting for a flag and they never come.

They never come because MGM prefers tight games...and the Chiefs are the bane of their existence when it comes to point spreads.

They dont want to actively help KC score more...notice how both ridiculous penalties on Jones came on possession changing plays?
