Quote:I'm not complaining about the rules or player safety. I'm stating that the rules are, in fact, correlated to increased passing numbers. QBs can stand in the pocket a little bit longer and hit the open receiver. Receivers than focus on making the catch without worrying about getting de-cleated by a safety. To say those things have NO effect on passing numbers is moronic.

I never said NO effect. Just a small effect. There are way bigger reasons why we see Madden stats. You fail to acknowledge it and want to deny that maybe just maybe the QB pool is just a little better than it was 20 years ago because they are trained better.


Oh an you can still decleat a player, ask Gio Bernard! Hit the right way! An the right way has not changed!! It was always the way you should hit. Textbook
