but at the end of the day, don't see how they could prove if a player is faking or not. they'd never pass a rule forcing a player to sit out 'x' amount of playstoo.

your star QB legitimately gets dinged up from roughing the passer on a crucial set of downs and comes out of the game. decides he feels good enough to go back in the next play but can't because of the sit out rule. your team loses.




The idea of making a "hurt" player stay out of the game for some period of time seems pretty logical to me. After all, if we care about player safety and he was so badly hurt he couldn't make it to the sideline he should have to stay out a few minutes afterwards to be appropriately vetted and cleared to return by the medical staff.

If he's an important player then burn a timeout to stop the clock as already allowed. FWIW, a hurt QB won't be the issue anyway. Players faking injuries are typically on the defense to slow down a HUNH.

When substituting for an injured player, only allow one new player to enter. Can be done at anytime.

Auburn did not sub except for the injured player, the clock ran out on the quarter and Arkie was not going fast and we would have had time to sub. Looks fame as crap, but the player never reentered the game.
