It looks so awesome when it works, but like the midrange jumper in basketball, it's not a wise play statistically for the majority of players.

Stupid fricking college and high school coaches see Manning and Brady do it to perfection in the NFL and think "hey let's do this! My kid is basically Peyton manning!"

it ain't that, it's that they think their WR is Randy Moss or Megatron

The guy CMU threw to was like their 3rd WR. It's so insane.

You basically give the defense an extra defender named "the sideline" and another named "extremely difficult to execute"

THIS. All of this.

Let the QB who moved around so well to make plays for 60 minutes make another play. CMU head coach sucked.

Yeah, in the nfl it's more about the stud WR than the about the pass.

Exactly.

That whole defense was sucking fricking wind the whole quarter and you basically made it a 1 on 1 situation instead of making those linebackers work to defense the middle


Most frustrating call I've ever seen (and I'm an LSU fan, I know something about frustrating calls)

Then why call that play if the QB isn't good at it?

And that WR was like 5'9. He's not boxing anyone out

Eta okay he was 6'3 apparently but he still wasn't towering over anyone

Hahaha... same here. I'm irrationally angry about this when I had no dog in the fight.

Comment on the deadspin piece about the finish:

"Finishing an incredible Christmas Eve bowl like that with a fricking fade route is like closing the Sugar Plum Fairy's Cavalier with a fart."

I went buck fricking wild in my house while watching that last hailmary and then watching the 2 point conversion was like having Allison Brie laying in my bed ready to get boned and then right before penetration someone comes and cuts my dick off

Even if manning was your QB, there are tons of other plays with higher chance of success. I've always hated that play. It seems to rarely work.
