Instant replay and draft order changed


Ccat

Recommended Posts

NFL teams voted today to expand replay review to quarterback pass/fumbles when the ruling on the field is an incomplete pass.

Teams also voted to change the criteria for determining draft order, ensuring playoff teams will not pick before 21st and that teams that lose in the Wild Card round pick before teams that advance.

good.

i just wonder if draft picks acquired through trades are going to be affected. i don't think they will but it will probably be clarified.

So the rule change to the draft is effective for this upcoming draft? Seems to me that would hurt a lot teams in regard to scouting. Maybe not but I would have thought they would have delayed the rule to take effect next year.
it doesn't affect this year. the guy writing the blog post used the chargers as an example of how it would be.

screw it i want a 20 game season, get rid of pre season.

I like the idea of having a 18 game season with 2 preseason games. Some preseason games are needed for the teams to evaluate players and make decisions on who to cut and who to look at closer and it gives players that don't get much playing time to try to impress.

agreed.

preseason games are also really more of a chance for guys who haven't gotten a secure job yet a chance to find some team willing to take a chance.

I don't get the Draft change. It should go by record. If a team goes 16-0 but loses in the Playoffs, they SHOULD pick later than the team that went 10-6 but went to the Super Bowl. Just because you have a good Playoff run, doesn't mean you should draft later. It should be a result of what happened during the regular season. In essence, a "cinderella" could get shafted. Not that the last few picks are that different, I'm just speaking in general here.

IMHO

2 scrimmage games 2 preseason games

18 game season

add two more teams to the playoffs that way you have a true wildcard game

I was also thinking that with more games you would need to have a larger roster, go up from 53 to 60 players, to account for the added injury possibilities.

    • I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy. 
    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
