What does the rule say now?  Isn’t  there something about control but the ball can move? Idk someone edumicate me plz. 

Quote

COMPLETED OR INTERCEPTED PASS

A player who makes a catch may advance the ball. A forward pass is complete (by the offense) or intercepted (by the defense) in the field of play, at the sideline, or in the end zone if a player, who is inbounds:

a. secures control of the ball in his hands or arms prior to the ball touching the ground; and

b. touches the ground inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands; and

c. after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, performs any act common to the game (e.g., tuck the ball away, extend it forward, take an additional step, turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so. 

Notes:

Movement of the ball does not automatically result in loss of control.
If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds
A receiver is considered a player in a defenseless posture (See 12-2-7) throughout the entire process of the catch and until the player is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent.
If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both players retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control. If the ball is muffed after simultaneous touching by two such players, all the players of the passing team become eligible to catch the loose ball.
If a player, who is in possession of the ball, is held up and carried out of bounds by an opponent before both feet or any part of his body other than his hands touches the ground inbounds, it is a completed or intercepted pass. It is not necessary for the player to maintain control of the ball when he lands out of bounds.
ARTICLE 4. INCOMPLETE PASS
Any forward pass (legal or illegal) is incomplete and the ball is dead immediately if the pass strikes the ground or goes out of bounds. An incomplete pass is a loss of down, and the ball returns to the previous spot.

Note: If there is any question whether a forward pass is complete, intercepted, or incomplete, it is to be ruled incomplete.

so basically it's still a bit subjective. refs interpret it. don't expect that to be done fairly or consistently.

I think Mr Scott was just referring to Thielen being a veteran presence who doesn't have super speed, but knows how to get open and makes the clutch catches, and not so much to the skill levels of the individual players.  

And Proehl had two really good receivers beside him (Steve Smith and Moose).  Thielen is going to get more targets because the rest of the receiving group isn't at that level.  

Pretty much, thanks

    • To me, as an idiot with a keyboard (the most dangerous kind!), I think we're seeing improvements. Looking at the entire operation this season (not last season), there have been improvements week to week.  There have also been times when the team has been maddeningly inconsistent.   So this is a young team coached by a young coach.  Ok. We aren't some kind of mega great team.  We are a struggling team.  Is it all Bryce's fault?  No.  Bryce faultless?  No.  The truth is in the middle: he makes some good plays, he makes some questionable decisions.  We don't have a real explosive threat.  Teams are playing us close to the line of scrimmage because no one scares them.  Bryce also doesn't have a cannon of an arm either. What I've seen is Bryce is playing like a different player from the first two games of the season.  He's much more confident and joyful.  Everyone has their thing.  Cam needed to get hit a few times to get lathered up. Others have to feel disrespected.  Whatever - these pros play the game differently.  He's playing better, which is a big deal. Bryce has also driven the team to leading scores in the last few minutes of games.  XL's drop, if he hadn't, would have put us at a tie.  If Eddy hit the extra point, we could have won.   Against Tampa and KC, he lead scoring drives only to get that pulled out from under him by bad tackling on QB scrambles.  I think he's got that clutch gene.  Now Bryce did also have a terrible INT, missed some plays, and didn't have as strong a game as he's had over the past few weeks since he's been back starting.  But, no other QB in the league has ups and downs.  They are all amazing 100% of the time. I get it.  Some of y'all don't like Bryce.  That's fine.  But the team owes it to themselves to keep riding Bryce.  The players believe in Bryce.  Let's see how that investment turns out.  If he falls apart next season, then you move on.  You gave him three seasons.  Then maybe you get in the Arch Manning sweepstakes (or whoever is the hot QB candidate). But I think (again, I'm an idiot with a keyboard) Bryce is playing better.  Let's keep riding this bus through 2025.
