I say he runs out of the pocket, the rules change for hitting a QB, which is true.

Yes, that is true. The rules for hitting a QB change once the QB leaves the pocket.

You say nope be was out of bounds which means something different.

I said no such thing. I said...

I fully understand that there are different rules for hitting a QB once he leaves the pocket, but those different rules have absolutely no relevence as to whether or not he was hit out of bounds.

I say you can't be out of bounds without being out of the pocket. You say you can't be out of the pocket without being out of bounds.

Again, no. I didn't say that. If I did say that then I made a mistake and mixed up my words. You can certainly be out of the pocket and not be out of bounds.

I say same difference.

Except it's not. If you are out of bounds, then you are definitely out of the pocket. If you are out of the pocket, you are not necessarily out of bounds. It's not the same.

You say you can't teach me anything...

When you say...

So if you're out of bounds you're out of the pocket? I'm not following...

...as if you don't understand the statement, I don't know any way to reword it to make it more clear. If you're out of bounds, you're out of the pocket. How do I reword that in a way that clarifies it? I'm seriously not trying to be a jerk.

And most of it is irrelevent, anyway. This has nothing to do with whether he was in or out of the pocket and everything to do with whether or not he was hit out of bounds. The rules for hitting a player out of bounds have nothing to do with whether the player is in or out of the pocket. Heck, the rules for hitting a player out of bounds don't even have anything to do with whether or not the player is a QB. For somebody that chose to belittle me by "using small words so I could understand," I seem to be having a very difficult time stating this in a way that you even understand what I'm trying to say.....let alone agree or disagree with it.....and I've stated it several times now in several different ways.

I don't recall which game...?

 

2003 Patriots. Walt Coleman let them get away with bloody murder.

 

We then got killed by the D of the decade 2004 Patriots in a blizzard the following season. They just flat out kicked our cans and Manning choked hard. We scored a whopping 3 points that game.

 

 

There was also the Saints Superbowl.

Ref: "Blue ball blue ball."

*Hank Baskett lets it go*

Ref: "White ball!"

Everyone watching around the world: "How is that even possible? Hank Baskett clearly fell on it..."

 

Although that was really only one blown call, it set the pace for the rest of the game. Still, one bad call was nothing VS the atrocity of 2003.

 

We've gotten a phantom PI or two ourselves in the past, but never an entire game of garbage calls or non calls in our favor like Patriots 2003 or Ravens VS Denver and SF this season.

 

The most obvious favoritsm we ever received was the 2005 Steelers playoff game where Polamalu got an INT, then fumbled and PIT recovered. It was ruled an INT and fumble, BUT through the powers of NFL wallets was overturned to an incomplete pass. PIT eventually won anyway thanks to Vandershank and the fact one of our player's wives opted to stab him in the ankle so he failed hard on Bettis' fumble and got tackled by ROETHLISBERGER of all people. We deserved to lose that game and found ways to do so.

I don't recall.....j/k.  I believe along with the Pittsburgh loss in 2004....that game memory has been removed from my brain......

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.      
    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
