That's right...3 of them. Every play would been a 10 yard jump ball curl route. There is no way any All Pro CB could stop that.

This is something that I would expect an eight year old to come up with.

It is brilliant...get a clue.

6-11. 280...been catching balls since he was 6 years old. I had breakfast with a guy today who actually met with Joe Banner at a function. He said that he asked Joe why he wouldn't do this and Banner replied that there is an unwritten rule prohibiting it...that the league would not allow it. They fear (the league) that it would ruin the game. It would ruin the game because nobody could stop it. Apparently they allow 6-5 guys like Gates...but that's about it.

At least that explains why these GM's don't grab onto my brilliant idea do this to win super bowls.

Along those lines...back in the early 60's, ex Buckeye and part of a national championship team, John Havlichek was at the Browns training camp at Hiram and nobody could stop him either. But he opted for the NBA instead...for him, a pretty good decision

So the league that is full of players who have committed awful crimes such as rape, domestic abuse, child abuse, etc. draws the line at not taking players because they are too tall?

i can't believe what i'm reading.

So it's not brilliant because it's supposedly not allowed then. Why stop with tall players, though? Why not have a team play 13 or 14 guys at a time or have extra time outs. Nevermind it's against the rules, it's MY brilliant idea that no one will listen to!

I don't know what's worse about FW: His dumbass ideas or stupid "my buddy who's 6'11" ate dinner with Joe Banner and he said it's not allowed" stories. If anything is ruining this place, it's having to sift through his and Iggy's dumb fucking posts and individualized threads because no one wants to seriously interact with them.

This. Why anyone would ignore Footwedge and deprive themselves of that entertainment is beyond me.

There could have been a gentleman's agreement at some point to not allow it, but as far-fetched as it seems, those things don't last very long anyway. Someone would come in, do what they want and not care about future ramifications. The average life of a coach/GM in the NFL is what, 4-5 years?

Correct. I was at a party last night. I'm all hung over and shit today. So I'm reading Footwedge posts while bumming on the couch and laughing my ass off. It's a beautiful day so far. He's a JV superstar, NFL teams need to load up on 6'11" receivers and math is a foreign language that NO ONE can wrap their brain around.
