Football Mobs - at all levels

My whole point is that reducing rosters would cause no visible deterioration in the quality of play........

An utterly absurd 'point.'

Have you ever watched a high school football game, small schools, where most of the players go both ways?

The game is no less competitive in the 4th quarter, eh? Both teams a little tired?

No deterioration in the quality of the competition.

It’s too bad you never learned anything about sports, Poindexter.

Comparing the quality of competition between the NFL and a small high school is ridiculous.

The small high schools play both ways because they have to do that. They don't have enough players.
Why would anyone want to do this in the NFL?

You still have not explained why you think this is a good idea.

Look at it this way: In tennis, the major championships are FIVE SET matches. Every knowledgeable tennis fan agrees that this longer match makes it a better test, thus ensuring that the best player will come out on top. Why is a marathon the best test for a distance runner? Endurance is part of athleticism, eh?

The idea that it is necessary to have 30 or so STARTERS on a football team (offense, defense, and special teams) is absolutely ridiculous. You could play a COMPETITIVE game with ELEVEN players, and a couple on the bench for injuries. One of those players would have to be able to PUNT the ball, one would have to be able to KICK OFF. So the punts would only be 40 yards on average and not 45. So what? And the quarterback would have to be an athlete. So what?

Do you fukkers understand the concept of "competitive"? All players facing the same challenges, with the better team coming out on top. That's all it would take for an enjoyable fan experience.

Endurance is part of SOME athletic competitions. Not all involve endurance.

The idea that so many top quality players would be out of the game completely, for no obvious reason is what is absolutely ridiculous.

The game would be destroyed by such a move. You first said it wouldn't effect the game, and then that it would still be competitive.

What possible reason would we have for doing such a ridiculous thing as firing 30+ players from each team?
