[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 748068, member: 7277"] I know it seems arbitrary and silly but they have to draw the line somewhere on catches and they draw them there for good reason. The game operates at such a fast pace that it's not really practical to call split second possession itself 'control,' or you'll have a fumble every time a good hit on a would-be catch jars the ball out. Eliminating 'control to the ground' creates a whole new problem. Diving catches where the receiver controls for a split second and then the ball comes jarring out when he hits the ground -- it's become a given to us that these are incomplete passes. These would become fumbles. I'm not saying you guys are 'wrong', these are just opinions after all. I'm just not sure you fully realize how big the can of worms is that you're opening up. It would be a huge change in the game. [/QUOTE]
