The ineligible receiver downfield rule is stupid

Linemen should be able to go as far downfield as they want to on passing plays. All the rules are made to help defenses. The game is 11 vs. 11 so why does the defense need all these rules for help?
We obviously do not have any coaches or refs on this board to help explain but I dare you to try.

You should pick better friends. He is horrible at sports.

Other than being able to move before the snap all the advantages go to the offense.

You can use his logic to argue that QB's should be able to make a forward pass after running past the line of scrimmage. I mean, if defenders can tackle, intercept, and cause fumbles past the line of scrimmage why shouldn't you be able to throw the ball forward?

Your friend is an idiot quite frankly.
The offense had the huge advantage of knowing exactly what the play is. The restrictions on how the offensive players move is the only reason there is even a game of football.

So when does the offense ever get any help?

The primary reason lineman aren't allowed to run downfield on pass plays is that it would be absolutely impossible for the defense to keep track of who was eligible and who wasn't.

It's not fair the offense gets to have a ball but the defense doesn't. Should be 2 balls in play to make things fair.

Is this your "friend's" opinion or is this really your opinion that you're conveniently passing off to another person who nobody knows about?

No they shouldn't. But I also think that the 2-yard rule is much to close. I say change it back to 5 yards or don't call it unless it directly affects the play. Don't call it on a lineman moseying around 3 yards past the line of scrimmage when the QB throws a 40 yard bomb.
Nm. I think college is still 5. But I still say don't call it unless it affects the play.

Surely he meant offense has the advantages.

Let the middle linebacker tell the line judge what he wants the QB to call and have him relay it to the QB. The QB MUST run that play or be charged with a 15 yd. penalty....how 'bout that?
