Link: Behind the back pass

[beb4bama]

Amazing 2 pt. conversion:
Rivals High - QB throws a behind-the-back two-point pass

You can only do that is a game that you know you are going to win 58-0. I can do that, and I am 42. Color me unimpressed...

Showboating has never impressed me at all. Any Coach worth his salt chews his butt out big time.

 

[mlh]

That would really p*** me off if I was playing on that defense.

 

[JTH]

Definitely a pick 6 waiting to happen, and if I were playing defense on the next series I might have to take a roughing the passer call.

 

[p'colabamaman]

Other than show-boating, what was the point of attempting a pass like that?

There is none.

There are two standard replies on tidefans.

A. That was awesome

B. That was the most classless piece of crap I have ever seen.

A passing Statue of Liberty....not show-boating when the score is 13-0. Pretty ingenious if you ask me, it worked didn't it? I agree probably wouldn't be doing it more than once every 10 yrs cause it hangs up too much and would be taken to the other end of the field. Yet it completely fooled the secondary...

It's hard to tell from the film, but the receiver had to have been wide open anyway, with all that hang time. So throwing it over handed would have been the best way to complete the pass. It appears to me that there is absolutely no benefit to executing the play that way.

 

[Mystical]

it happened in the first quarter, when Central was up, just 13-0.

 

[RammerJammer14]

Meh, I was expecting something way cooler. That pass ranks right up there with my backyard football triple option play I scored on, with three man teams. The other D didn't really look confused, that dude was just wide open.

 

[CrimsonJag]

There was a day not too long ago when, if a player did something like that, he'd get his block knocked off and his butt chewed out for a while from the head coach.

Times have changed, I reckon.

I hate showboating. It is classless, and it disrespects the other team as well as the game itself.
