I hate it and fly route down sideline.

Lowest completion percentage pass play in football history.

Actually the stupidest pass play in football is the Hail Mary that never gets thrown.

Just throw it up man. You don't have to wait 5 seconds for your receivers...throw it like 3 Flies and You're Out...but just throw it...don't get sacked on a total hopeful miracle play.

Get rid of the ball. There's is nothing worse than QBs who get sacked on a Hail Mary because they scramble and wait too long. Give your receivers a chance - just throw it. If you are about to get sacked don't run around - just throw it.

Not true. The fade route can be a great route.
1st it gives the QB and WR options- run the fade route to the corner, break it off and run the back shoulder route or if you have a size advantage throw a "jump ball".
2nd it doesn't have to be as accurate as you are making out to be. With a good route the WR has the DB on his inside. The QB can throw it to alot of different spots to the outside or ahead of the WR and let the him run the ball down. Far less accuracy required than say a slant route.

It happens all the time.

Failed Hail Mary's

Probably a Youtube thing about about it.

QBs who just don't even get rid of the ball - been happening since the 80's.
