Modest FG proposal

Beyond 40 yards, the offensive team shall have the option of attempting a forward pass through the uprights. The defense may intercept, or return a ball that hits the ground. In all other respects it is a regular scrimmage play. Would add a little more excitement and strategy, especially for a team with a strong armed QB.

Pretty much any NFL quarterback can easily throw a ball that far

Every single QB in the NFL can throw a 40 yard pass through the uprights with ease

Unless he has to throw from a knee this is dumb. Hell even that is dumb actually

The goalposts are in the back of the endzone, the crossbar is 10 feet off the ground and he'd be 8-10 yards behind the LOS. A 40 yard FG would be throwing about 70 yards with accuracy while under pressure.

As a Bama fan, I'm all for it.

there'd be about 5-8 teams that would just need to get to like their own 40 yard line to be able to win fg type game off of a pathetic qb heave.

You're just looking for ways to get Jamarcus Russell back in the league?

A 40 yard FG attempt's LOS would be the 23 yard line...
If you mean a FG attempt with the 40 as the LOS, it's a 57 yarder. You don't think it's easy as frick for an NFL QB to throw a ball through the uprights from 57?

Are you under the impression that a “40 yard field goal” doesn’t account for the end zone yardage?

Possibly the dumbest shite I’ve ever read Jim

Couldn't Vick throw like 70 yards sitting on the ground haha?

You'd think after 63,299 post that you'd be better than this...but nope; this is the dumbest thing I've seen on the MSB and that's saying something.

Hang a tire between the uprights, then maybe we can talk. Otherwise, no.
