Full speed has nothing to do with a catch or not. That was a catch for about 50 years

when you watch it full speed, the ball comes out of his hands instantly when he hits the ground. The rule is maintain possession to the ground, if he's out of bounds, bobbled it and still caught it, it may not be a catch.

And in any sensible universe it still should be.  He caught the ball, got both feet in, then hit the ground, and then the ball bounced free.

Hate that shit.

My point is that they have ruined what a catch is. If you have possession and get two feet down, at that moment it should be a catch. It was for over 50 years, now you have to catch it and keep it without moving until you hit the ground, stand up and get s drink

Yeah I agree, but that's just the way it is. Of all the rules that changed to help the offense, maybe this one was a gift to help the defense, because Cris Carter could probably still go out there and catch outs if he only has to hold it for a split second.
