THE PILL FOOTBALL COMPROMISE.

[mantaraydre]

COACHES,

leagues who are on the fence or interested in using this football for your members. You can compromise if you feel the ball is too big. Hopefully the mfca ruleset will allow these for all its members. You can simply state that if a coach is going to use said football.

1)he must pull his qb 10 to 15 yards back form his original throwing position

or

2)In order to use, the wr must be AT LEAST 20 yards down field.

Both scenarios would balance out any too big for the player and accuracy issues.

for examp. if your qb is on the 25 yardline left side of the hash mark throwing to a wr on the right hand side. He must move that qb back to the 10 yardline same position then make the throw.

If you have a leagemate who wishes to use this the, throw will be much harder for him.

Also, it the football knocks the wr over. he is down at the spot and cannot advance the football.

Just a thought for those who mind using it.

Good stuff Dre!

Here's another idea, STOP BANNING THINGS AT THE LEAGUE LEVEL!

If a coach is using Geno's TDQ to throw the "pill" at one of three Frankensteined boat base receivers he has, then don't hate on that coach, instead work on how to defend him better, apply more pressure and prevent him from getting in this position in the first place.

Banning equipment is not the way to go. The "if you can't beat it, then ban it" mentality has to go to the wayside.

Don't stifle growth, let if flourish.

IM WITH YOU SHABBY J. IT'S WAYY TOO MANY BANS ON ELECTRIC FOOTBALL ITEMS. ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT IS MADE SHOULD BE ALLOWED. MORE THAN 2 BOAT BASES MORE THAN 2 COVER CORNERS PILL BALLS. PLAY BETTER DEFENSE TO STOP IT OR BETTER OFFENSE TO SCORE ON THE COVER CORNERS. STOP BANNING THINGS EF WORLD ALLOW IT ALL. BANNING THINGS SHOWS LACK OF SKILLS. UT OH, NOT MEANING TO OFFEND ANYONE, JUST A COMMENT.

I agree with Shabby completely, so at my next game, I will be playing with my new football. I have yet to miss a pass with it all though my yards after the catch has something to be desired.

There are reasons for standards. Shabby, I love to argue with you!!

See Wolf, I knew we would agree on something one of these centuries!

Nope....don't feel singled out, but I am getting tired of the debate over some of the equipment and rules in our games. I don't like outlawing anything related to players and bases except for stuff that borders on ridiculous. I have seen players with arms twice the length in ratio to their torso when compared to any human being (and some had arms that could be bent like Stretch Armstrong). I have also seen figures used that would scale out to something like 8 feet tall and weigh 500 pounds. I have also heard of some folks using mild magnets that aren't strong enough to hold their guy in place....but that might be hard to knock down or move out of the way.

That is why I really like the way we play the game out here in L.A. We allow all sorts of new and old gear and despite the heartburn, I see the same guys winning anyway. More boat bases bred more cover corners. The backwards line led to more guys with their hands up. A lack of 1st run Prolines led to many buying and learning to tweak the new super Prolines. It all goes to prove that it is the mind and skill of the coach that wins the game after all....well, except for that ******** box sometimes....

coaches,

The pill football is really not that much bigger than the miggle felt football. it is pretty close to the ice cream football. its amazing, a boat base is allowed which is bigger than the standard base but a football that is slightly bigger is banned. What is the diff. you put boat bases on figures (which im 100% for) to get receivers open a little easier, but a football is banned because it may work for some. what gives ? I see boats with diamond speed bases under them which is even more of an advantage. what gives?
some claim genos tdq is unfair, WHERE DO YOU SEE THAT ? ITS THE SAME MAKE UP OF A QB PRETTY MUCH.
if you see an offensive line filled with boats, can you stop them them ?

some coaches couldnt hit thier rec. with a beachball(like me) and you want him further back,good goobley goo.

Any new or innovative products that are created by someone should be allowed in play. If we are going to use what was first created by Tudor, then why even bother with innovation. I believe all the products created by our sponsers are tremendous additions to minature football. We should make the game more playable for all involved and to enhance the probability in getting newbies interested in the game!

I'd like to ban Joel-p1 panthers,Brian Redmonds falcons and Charles Lanes Raiders,but they won't go for that.Oh yea those ugly -ratty Bengaaals in our league too.
