I hate how running QBs affect the game. I just think it makes it look a little less organized and more like back lot football. Also the rules which protect the QB are plain unfair if you are just going to make your QB another running back half the time.
I hate that ****ing rule. Clemson just lost their leader on defense because of a bang-bang play. This was a tall order for Clemson to begin with that might be insurmountable now.
I didn't say the teams were less organized. I just said it looks that way. The Pre snap set up means a lot less as the D is forced more into a read and react game. I am not a huge fan of that as it prioritizes athleticism over scheme/smarts even more than it was before. It becomes much more of a who can 'out athlete' the other team as opposed to out think or out scheme. I don't find it as compelling personally. I like brains being a large part of the contest in football.
I'm okay with QBs being athletic and running around if they want to. I only ask if that is the case then we stop protecting them. You want want to play like an RB then they should need to play by those rules, but they don't have to. It makes it unfair to everyone else. I understand protecting the QB if you have a league full of Tom Brady's and Peyton Manning's that can't run around and will go down with little contact. When you have a league full of Lamar Jackson's you need to take those rules out to give the D a chance. If you are afraid to hit a runner how will you take him down in a timely manner?
Lawrence’s footwork has been way off. That time he was wayyyyy too wide in his stance and the ball sailed on him. With the proper footwork, that’s a completed ball even in the teeth of the pressure coming off the weak side.
