Difference between a flare pass and a swing pass

Isn't a "flare" pattern a quicker route, with the back moving more directly straight out to the flat, while a "swing" pass or "circle" route a little slower developing? Or is there no difference? Just curious, because over the years I've heard commenters use the terms "flare" and "swing/circle" interchangeably for what looks like the same routes to me.

The same. Maybe only difference is the flare might be a backup option while swing is more deliberate.

same terminology
each offense has its own language. my high school called it a flare, my college OC used swing. both are behing the LOS. a flat or flood is just beyond the LOC looking back over your shoulder.

A flare is just that, the back is lined up and flares directly to the sideline closest to him.
On a screen, the back acts like he's helping block, or running into the line, onky to release to the screen side...so its delayed

Yeah it's basically the terminology of the offense that decides those kinds of distinctions.
Different coaches will call the same technique or route different things.
