37.5% Rule

Once again humans confuse Colossus. Three of the seven YES votes cast so far for the 800 passing attempt limit rule were teams that would've been forced to cut down on QBs this season if it had been in effect.

The New England Generals have Jay "Whinny Bear" Cutler (616), Gus "Freakin' Old" Frerotte (301) and Shaun "Gold Nugget" Hill (288) totaling 1,205 attempts.

The Knoxville Smokies have Kyle Orton (465 atts) and Jeff Garcia (376) for 841 attempts.

The Fresno Outlaws have Donovan McNabb (571 atts), JaMarcus Russell (368 atts) and Seneca Wallace (242 atts), A total of 1,181 passing attempts.

If these teams feel this way, Colossus asks them to cut down to less than 800 attempts on their own. It's like rich people feeling guilty about their wealth and supporting high personal income tax rates. Why don't they just give all their money away during times of low taxation instead of wanting everyone else to be forced by law to cough up cash?

So, the league looks forward to Jay Cutler, Shaun Hill, Kyle Orton and Donovan McNabb being available for the draft even if the proposal doesn't pass. And if it does pass, they should do it this year even if the rule doesn't go into effect until next season.
