Chex, I normally agree with your stuff, but you’re wrong here. It’s ok. I also won’t go full corch, but I can assure you, you’re out of your depth here on the football IQ bit. Hell, just look at the clip posted above. Roberts had half the defense in the endzone. If he can’t trust those guys to stop a Hail Mary…

Chex is on point here. What is/isn't a Hail Mary is dependent on the QB's arm strength. A Hail Mary is at the edge of a QB's arm strength and thrown with a high trajectory with long hang time - and is generally inaccurate so defensive players in zone coverage have time to converge.

This was absolutely not a Hail Mary throw. That's the problem with only rushing 2. Rushing 2 - the defense doesn't impact the QB's throw at all. Might as well rush 0... Bama spread out its WRs and had Milroe throw pick one guy to throw to on a rope... he had 6 seconds to pick that guy which is insane. The second issue is having a QB spy that isn't rushing. With most of the team dropped in zone in the endzone, defenders are facing the QB and can come up to make a tackle. There's no need for a spy.
