Yes, I got that... but why is behind, more elite? Unless, by your example... more WRs are running into coverage than out of it... (which I thought they were supposed to do the opposite of that).

However, if you're ass is facing the sidelines and you got a CB covering you, then behind you (towards out of bounds) is good.

Since commented, I will ask you, do you know?

Yes, if the WR is running into coverage, you as a WR want that ball slightly behind you to slow down your momentum. If you're running a slant with no one in front of you, then behind would be bad targeting.

Having to explain something as simple as responding to a post with a picture is like having to point out the hidden pictures in a child's magazine game. EX: See the fish in the tree Johnny? [facepalm]

I can tell you from first hand experience of throwing the ball, and catching the ball, you do NOT want that to ever happen. Ya feel that sh*t the next morning, lol.

Most of the better QB's don't throw the ball to a receiver that has a "charging defender" bearing down on them. However, good ball placement to a receiver that does not require them to slow down, often results in big gains.

As the "Soup Nazi" photo is concerned, it was Deputy Dog that tried to belittle it. He does not need the Marshall to run to his aid.

Anyhow, if the WR is running towards traffic (often times unaware), the WR definitely wants the ball behind them to slow them down so the impact is not as great. I'm just stating what is common sense though, for a third time.

Zero, I don't count you as an expert even if you did play Pop Warner Football. A receiver's catch window aside, not many QB's will throw a ball to a receiver that in all probability will get cut in two for catching the ball, even if he has to slow down to catch it. "Common sense" ? You need to wake up and smell the empty beer cans.

I can and do appreciate a well thought out, well written commentary. That said, throwing a football behind a receiver so that they must slow down to catch it just adds to the difficulty and lessens the chance of a successful pas completion. In addition, slowing down aids the defender in defending the play or tackling the receiver before they can gain additional yardage.

Throwing a pass to a window where only the receiver can catch it is what most QBs strive to do, but few possess the physical abilities of an Aaron Rodgers or a Drew Brees or a Ben Roethlisberger. A receiver like Odell Beckham Jr. that has exceptional skills can help a QB like Eli Manning when he puts too much or too little gas on the throw by extending the play.

The best receivers get separation on their coverage and do not slow down for them to catch up. Speed, while important, can often be trumped by agility and/or quickness. Getting a defender to cut to the wrong direction is something that a high quality receiver can do. Larry Fitzgerald is a prime example of an agile receiver. His defender never knows until the last millisecond what direction he will cut to. It is a special skill that not all receivers do well. Deceiving defenders as to the exact pass route keeps coaches up nights trying to match receivers/routes against another teams pass defense weaknesses. You see a team fail on several different passing plays, what you don't see is that they have have been setting a trap that they will spring at the proper time. The trap will use the same formation and appear to be a repeat of the one that failed earlier. The payoff comes when the defender is fooled and the play gains big yardage or even a TD.

All to often, younger people expect instant results, instant success, instant gratification. A QB has poor stats, but do you also see that his receivers could not get open for that QB to feel comfortable throwing it into coverage that tight. He holds on to the football too long and gets sacked too much, but do we realise that he is not willing to place the football where it can be turned over or get his receiver in trouble trying to fend of defenders who would gladly see him have to leave the game. In addition, the O-Line has to provide their QB protection from specialist that want to plant him in the ground 3 feet.

Most just see that the play failed and are too quick to blame the QB unfairly.
