Tuck rule memories

SC is showing the Brady tuck rule footage this morning. Anniversary of some kind.

I still don't get it. Based on the footage, Jake should have about a dozen fumbles over turned. Anyway, I would like somebody to try to makes sense of this for me. What I have read and what I am looking at still does not click for some reason.

Basically, How the fvck was that not a fumble?

Thanks.

maybe i'm stupid but the tuck rule still bewilders me

i think it's something to the effect of: if the arm is still traveling forward with possession of the ball while the quarterback is doing something vaguely resembling a passing motion, it's an incomplete pass. like if he completed his pump fake and the defender got there a split second later after the motion was finished, that would = fumble.

It was a fumble. The ruling said that his arm was going forward, so it was an incomplete pass. But you watch and it was basically Brady stopping his throwing motion and tucking the ball towards his body. He even touched it with his left hand.

After he tucked it, it was knocked loose, which should have been a fumble. The tuck rule is in place to make the motion of tucking the ball not a fumble, but once the motion is over and the ball is tucked it can be ruled a fumble if the ball is knocked loose.

I have watched it many times as well, IMO the ruling on the field was correct. I can't even remember why it was reviewed, under 2 minutes? Challenge? I don't know. But the Raiders got fugging screwed.

Basically since you cannot tell in mid motion if a forward motion is going to be a tuck or a pass the QB gets the benefit of the doubt of it being an incomplete pass.

I just heard it again as it was rehashed among some of the players in the game. I just do not agree. I think a judgement call has to be made. Clearly it was a fumble and even Tom Brady blushes when he says "we got the call, it was a very fortunate call for us"

Like you said, it still comes down to a judgement call so nothing has changed. Since then, I have seen it go both ways with no apparent rhyme or reason.

I think it should always be a judgement call. But that is not the case. If the arm is going forward its a pass per the rule book. Even if the motion includes bringing the ball in toward the body apparently.

I don't even know why they call it the tuck rule.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
