Jersey number rule change passes

  • Changed a rule that will now force a loss of down if two passes are completed behind the line of scrimmage.

What the heck is this?

My guess is that if a QB throws a pass, then gets batted back by a defensive player, and the QB catches the ball back behind the line of scrimmage, he cannot throw it again.

I believe there was a Tom Brady pass that was completed exactly that way that facilitated the rule change.

Maybe I'm just being old school but I kind of like the traditional numbering system. It's kind of a way to differentiate college and the pros, and sort of a welcome to the big leagues thing for me. That said I'm guessing they need to new numbers so its not a huge deal at the end of the day.

    • Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."    
    • Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...
    • Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
