i'd rather people get up in arms about the +2 for over 50 yard gains

The rationale was that it'd even the playing field between spread offenses and standard. QB's who rely on dink and dunk passes are less likely to receive that bonus. It also  discourages touchdown vultures and encourages traditional running backs.

But like I said, it's open to discussion.

i guess i see where you are coming from, just feels like a very artificial way to try to level the playing field, when it doesnt inherently need to be levelled, let the game be what it is and people can strategize their drafts accordingly

It's not like big play bonuses are a new concept.

These exchanges were better when VD had use of the gas face - only because they were much shorter.

its also not like they've ever had a strong rationale behind them, unless you were in a league that didnt give points for yards.

My rationale for them is my opinion that a scoring play of 55 yards should be worth more than if a guy racks up 55 yards on a drive and then scores from the 1.
