No to pretty much everything. The goal should be to
eliminate gray area. Adding exceptions and special scenarios to 45 different rules makes it extremely difficult for new officials. Hell, for lots of veteran officials as well. The game in HS and below is drastically different than NCAA, but so are the officials. Strive for simplification, uniformity, and standardization above all else.
YES - (11) IFP if QB went beyond LOS, then behind to pass. This just makes sense, and the rule as is has never made sense to anyone watching football.
(18 - 25) Proposals aimed at correcting/clarify/re-writing Rule 10. Cautiously yes, depending on what the "clarification" is.
As always, I enjoy in reading and value your opinions. I often use some of them in the upcoming debates. Please offer yours.
