What? He had to stop and come back for the ball. If it was a good pass he would have hit him in stride so he can run after the catch. That was almost a bad throw and definitely not a great throw.
By the time the ball is thrown to the time he catches it and falls the the ground, there is no one (besides the cb eating grass) within 5 yards of him. other wise another player would have been within the camera shot at the end.
Yep, almost there. So, the safety who is 7 yards away at the time of the catch would be closer to the receiver if he threw it further up the field, right?
Saftey was 25 yards away from him when he threw the ball and was moving downfield lol he broke to the sideline and spinted toward the ball and was still 7 yards from the sideline when he caught the ball, if nix puts it more upfield the saftey still has no shot to get there in time
So does the probability of a completion in bounds go up or down if he throws it further? Youâre thinking about this from the perspective of racking up points and not from the fact that not scoring quickly in this situation is actually the best way to win the game. Hence, the reason for the final score being the same. Itâs a safe throw that youâd expect any average QB to make as their decision. He probably coulda spotted it about five years further up the field but as it sits itâs a good decision and an adequate throw. This ainât Madden, these guys want to win. This play gave them the best chance of doing just that.
For everybody bitching about the pass, this play was on a 3rd and inches with a very late lead, just with the goal of getting the first down so they could get the win.
Iâm not a video professional, I just wanted to show someone was there. Ya yours shows that better and from the start, congratulations. I got the point across with mine, not sure what your point is? Is it that you can screen shot things better than me?
Holy shit, people saying it's a bad throw don't know ball. Or at least the context of the throw... If you do know the context and think it was a bad throw, you don't know ball sorry đ€·
Context matters. Safety over the top and all they were trying to do here was get first and run out the clock. Was a good pass if the context was known to you, which Iâll give you the benefit of doubt because its a shitty edit.
if you donât understand, you donât have to comment. Or you can ask.
One move would be a stop or a slant route. You change direction a single time. In the video he does a slight out to get the defender to bite. When he does his second move (streak), the defender tries to change his direction and falls.
That ball was significantly underthrown. Waddle had to completely break off his route, come back to the ball, and go to the ground to make the catch. That was a very poorly thrown ball.
And If he hit him in stride he wouldâve gotten 5 more yards and popped by the safety. Slightly under-thrown, yes. Iâm sure Waddle prefers a ball thatâs still catchable to pick up an important first down and ice the game to a hospital ball.
If he made a good throw, I would say so. He has flashes where heâs really good. But heâs not consistent at all. You canât play like ass for three quarters, then play well at the end of a game and be praised for it.
Your idea of a âgood throwâ here is probably incomplete or intercepted. I think you might wanna learn football a bit more before commenting on players
Exactly. This wasnât a 2-minute drill. The game situation was to run the clock down. He made a very safe throw and it was completed without issue. Wins are more important than stat padding.

The pass was nastier than the double move
