Tap Passes

[MHSL82]

It's a good football play, but I'm a bit annoyed with how the quarterbacks gets credit for touchdown passes from this place. Mahomes had two yesterday. And Goff had one today. Kapernick had three or four when he played for the Niners.

The only risk of an interception would be for a "receiver" to bobble the ball up in the air. There's no chance of a fumble because it would be a forward incomplete pass.

So it's a smart play, but I feel there's a windfall of credit for the quarterback when it really is the "receiver" and the offensive line credit. Yes, I realize of the quarterback makes pre-snap decisions and so they deserve some credit, but a handoff forward wouldn't get them any touchdown passes.

Yes, I know, if you want to get credit, just do it. I'm talking from a football standpoint. I don't see that as being a touchdown pass. I understand when quarterbacks throw the ball for 2 yards and they are taken to the house and they get credit when it was the receiver, but this seems ridiculous.

Ok

 

[MHSL82]

"This place" is supposed to say "these plays."

Anyway, here's what I am talking about if one doesn't know:
19 yard TD "Pass."

Who cares...the name of the game is to win...scoring makes that happen and how the stats are calculated is immaterial...

It’s not different than dropping the snap out of the shotgun imo. The qb never gains possession of the ball.

You seem like one of those ... eh....... oh fuck it let's just say it, fags that doesn't care if his home team wins or loses so long as you win your gay fantasy league and get invited to the Super Bowl party where everyone turns the volume down on the commercials to guess how much it costs.

 

[fordman84]

wait, that's considered a pass? I didn't know that.

Didn't really care either.

So I guess it's fair that QBs get penalized for INTs when a receiver knocks a ball up into the air? Or drops one that hits him right in the numbers? Stats are for side bets, don't matter in the long run.

I have never done fantasy football. My favorite player is Alex Smith so I obviously don't care about fantasy stats. I just didn't look at those glorified handoffs as passes. I also did say it was a smart football play because of the reasons I stated so I didn't say it was bad for football. Or for winning.

Yeah, no I don't think that it is fair that they get saddled with the blame for tipped interceptions and obviously drops are not good either. Stats don't really matter, I know.

I was just saying that didn't seem right that a glorified hand off was considered a pass and they got everything after that. Maybe they have done tap passes forever, it just seems that they have added that and quarterbacks see the benefit statistically. Shovel passes seem more risky because they are thrown forward faster.

I have also seen the plays where the quarterback throws it laterally and those have a higher chance of being pick sixes but they don't get any credit for the pass because it was backwards or lateral. Those seem like passes and I think part of it is because it included the risk of an interception.

They get a fumble instead for the lateral.

[Used 2 B Hu]

Did you all know, that a QB can throw the ball completely underhanded, downfield, and it's a legal forward pass?

There is no law that says the forward pass must be done in an overhand fashion, as long as the QB is behind the line of scrimmage.
