Julies gay Super Bowl Debate

Eddie Cochem, the Saint Louis University coach, was the first to use the forward pass in 1906. It wasn't legalized in the NFL until 1933.

Specification of the size of the ball for the American game came in 1912, but it was still essentially a rugby ball. Increased use of the forward pass encouraged adoption of a narrower ball, starting with changes in the 1920s which enhanced rifled throwing and also spiral punting.
Why would they change the shape of the ball if there were no forward passes. Love it. OWNED.

Also from the same Wikipedia article:
According to National Football League history,[30] it legalized the forward pass from anywhere behind the line of scrimmage on February 25, 1933. Before that rule change, a forward pass had to be made from 5 or more yards behind the line of scrimmage.
Could this be what he's referring to and erroneously reporting that all forward passes were illegal prior to 1933?

Yea, the guy is an idiot. They change rules all the time. Did someone not ever "sack" a QB before they began keeping stats for it in the 70s? Tell that to Deacon Jones.

wrong. the nfl legalized passing in 1933 and since then stats were kept.
sorry browns but those are the facts.

Then how the hell did George Halas CATCH Touchdown PASSES for the Bears in the 20s. He was one of the top RECEIVERS in tha time. How did Benny Friedman get 66 Touchdown PASSES between 1927 and 1932?
You are stuck on 'when stats are kept". I told you, and you can look it up, they didn't keep statistics for RUSHING before then either.
So, if they could neither pass, nor run....because surely no stats means those things weren't done...how did they matriculate the ball down the field? Levitation? (Oh, but that may have been considered a pass.)

No, they are not the facts. Just because you say it (type it in this case), does not make it true.
Sight your source. Post a link to where you are getting your info.
I sighted my source, and my source indicated that you were incorrect. The forward pass rules were changed in 1933 to incorporate the legality of a pass between 5 and 0 yards behind the line of scrimmage, while prior to 1933, a forward pass was allowed if the QB was 5 or more yards behind the line of scrimmage.
Secondly, just because they didn't call themselves the NFL, doesn't mean you can negate the info from that organization. The rules and regulations from the previous organization were carried forward when the NFL formed.
The NFL was previously known as the American Professional Football Association, formed in 1920 with 11 teams. It changed its name to the NFL in 1922.
Teams originally playing in the unofficial Ohio League (including Canton Bulldogs) joined the APFA in 1920.
So do the rules, records and stats from the APFA from 1920 to 1922 not count because the acronym NFL wasn't used? Same organization, they just renamed themselves. As a matter of fact, the original APFA was only consisting of the Ohio League (although many teams chose not to participate in the APFA) but a month later they included Buffalo and a few other teams.
So my friend, site your source, or forever hold your peace.

Prove it. Cite the rule on a website that says forward passing was specifically PROHIBITED by the NFL prior to 1933.
And if you find it, you better go to 2121 George Halas Drive, Canton, Ohio and tell the curator there that the Touchdown passes caught by the guy who the street is named for where the particular institution sits has to be erased from their archives because Jully says its so.
Better yet. How much of your hard earned CASH are you willing to wager that you are right.
I will put up $500.00 on myself being right.
Lets see how gutless you really are, punk. Put your money up. We can name an independent escrow agent to hold each of our holdings. We can have a title company in Canton, Ohio hold it. I need a little extra cash for Christmas.

No you idiot! They obviously scored TD's by way of teleportation. Its just that after the great depression people were so depressed and their natural instincts so suppressed by the religious right, that they lost the ability to teleport anything larger than the size of a gonad, and teleporting ones testicles is not really something one might want to do.

What you are saying is that in 1925 Jack Ernst attempted 130 forward passes. completing 61 of them for a 46.9 percent completion average for 714 yards for a 5.49 ypa avg. and 8 TD passes (I am not sure what the 13 and 45 are...is that 13 ints?) If they weren't allowed to throw how could they have compiled all those very specific statistics?
Now the whole universe is conspiring against Jully.
Paranoia strikes deep. Into your mind it will creep.

How did we ever get onto such an ignorant debate?

I don't know, but I really want you to refute my teleportation statement. I swear that's what they did from 1922 (cause the APFA wasn't the NFL you know) to 1933 because obviously they weren't passing it.

.13 is INT's and 45 is yards per game.
Why would they keep stats on an illegal pass? LOL!!!

You seem to forget that any titles Cleveland owned before 1996 actually belong to the Baltimore Ravens. The current Cleveland Browns are an expansion team, only in existence since 1999. Therefore, you have 0 championships, and only 1 playoff appearance (2002). If you want to have your titles back, you will need to become a Ravens fan - just think of the upside - you would then have a Superbowl that you could brag about (2001).

Again, you are wrong. The NFL awarded the city of Cleveland and the future franchise they promised them the name, colors, and history of the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens were considered a new team in regards to name, colors, and history when they became the Baltimore Ravens.
