I watch a lot of college football, and a lot of pro football.

And for the life of me, I can't tell you how many times I have seen Division-I college football players and NFL football players drop the ball before crossing the goal-line.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have seen this happen at least 10 or 11 times in the last 5 years ...... and those only include the games that l I l watch ...... I'm sure that it probably has happened several dozen times in the last 5 years throughout college and pro football.


I really don't understand it, and I'm not just saying that because a player on my favorite team just did it today ...... every time I see it happen, I just cannot believe that players that have been eating, breathing, and sleeping football for the better part of their lives keep on doing this over and over again.



Taylor wasn't the first player to do this on a big stage, and he won't be the last ...... for those of us who will continue to watch a good deal of both college and professional football, it will happen again, and again, and again ...... because for some reason, a lot of players will never learn.

For the record, I have always been a big Jonathan Taylor fan ...... and I still am.

He's very talented, and I hope that he is back with the team next year.

If he ever drops the ball at the 1/2-yardline again, I'm going to blow up his fucking car in the parking lot.

Replay after replay… I’ve still yet to see clear conclusive evidence he didn’t get in the endzone. Where’s the pylon camera?

Every other instance this has happened the player dropped it a yard or 2 early and it was clear and obvious.

Until you show me a view down the line I still say that ball crossed before he dropped it

JT does have a lot of talent and I can't see him going anywhere next season. JT seems to let us down an awful lot. He's had some brutal fumbles that have cost us games, always seems to have some nagging injury, and then the holdout, and then the drop down at the 1 inch line. I'm just not much of a fan anymore. Outside of the long run against the Patriots a few years ago, I don't really remember many game winning plays from him. There probably were some, but I just don't recall them.

I've never heard him once, say that he would like become a complete RB, and improve in any those areas. Now he's become the equivalent of a football dumb ass.

JT can go fuck himself. He's selfish prick who got his, and thinks that he doesn't need to improve.

Draft a RB in 2025 as his eventual replacement.

I agree that there is not conclusive evidence that Taylor dropped the ball before the nose of the football touched the imaginary plane, but this portion of your post is not true ...... I don't think a player has ever dropped the ball 2 full yards or even one full yard before it crossed the plane of the goal line in all of the times that which I have seen this happen. It is almost always 1/2 of a yard or less when they have done it. It's almost always very close whenever it happens. It has often been clear and conclusive when a player dropped the ball early, but it's almost always 1/2 of a hard or less (1/3 of a yard, or a foot.)

My thread title says the 1/2 yardline, but that was just a general description of the overall scenario of this occurrence ...... in Taylor's case, MAYBE he dropped the ball at about the 6-inch line, but again, I think that you are correct is asserting that there is/was not any clear and conclusive evidence that it did come out of his hands prior to it crossing the plane of the goal-line.
