You should forward it to the fricktard who wrote the rule Honestly, how many yards can the returner gain from bobbling the ball? It is a terribly written rule

If you had bothered to read the rule you're saying is terribly written, you'd see that the answer to your question is zero; when a fair catch is called, the ball is spotted where the first contact is made even if it is bobbled forward before securing it.

The idiots in this thread haven't read the rule, or don't understand the distinction between the different rules that apply to a fair-catch as opposed to a regular catch.
