alot of good plays posted...but i thinnk some people are confusing greatest catch with greatest pass. like holmes catch or even worse, randalls pass.....he just lobbed it up madden style and his receiver got lucky because of a retarded DB....no way is that a great pass.

I'm not really looking at historical significance or scrambling before the pass. I'm looking at the pass itself. Douglass threw a 60+ yard bullet and his feet weren't even really set. Vick's ball was nice but it has way too much air under it. I can't even comment on the other postings because they are too retarded. Eli Manning's pass to Manningham is the greatest pass ever?

i think eli's pass was better than douglas. throwing a 60 yard bullet to a wide open receiver is nothing for an NFL QB.....ok, throwing the 60 yard bullet isnt nothing....its arm strength, but its not like it takes alot of skill to just zing it. Eli's pass required tremendous skill and finesse to place the ball in a perfect spot. imo thats alot harder to do than just whipping the ball as hard as you can.

sidenote, i think douglas got lucky on that play. he couldnt hit the broad side of a barn with that cannon of his

Why does how much air Vick's pass having make it any worse of a throw? Looked like a pretty perfect throw to me.

 

[Senser81]

I'm not really looking for perfect accuracy. More of looking for the prettiest looking pass. Very subjective. To me, Douglass' pass is great because he throws it in a straight line and it just zooms out of his hand. Vick's pass is a great pass, but it looks like every other good deep pass.

Bonus points for the hilarity of the situation.

I think the distance of it is what is so crazy, he lets it go from his own 4 yard line.

I still maintain Duece should have thrown it forward, out of bounds, for an incomplete pass. Would have possibly resulted in an ineligible man downfield penalty (or intentional grounding obviously) but there was a chance at taking less of a yardage hit.

He would have had to thrown it past the line of scrimmage for it not to have been an intentional grounding penalty. And the intentional grounding penalty would have been a "spot of the foul" penalty with loss of down, so McCallister wouldn't have been saving any yardage.

Yeah, I just think it was worth a shot rather than just giving up the yardage. Let's say there is a 10% chance of Duece throwing it far enough, if he does, that's a 26 yard swing. If he doesn't it's the same loss of yardage. The ultimate "nothing to lose" proposition.

 

[Aso]

You would lose an additional 10 yards wouldn't you?

Still a decent chance it will be intentional grounding if there is no receiver in the area. And there is a possibility of an INT. McCallister should have done a quick kick and punted the ball 50 yards downfield.

Eh, at that point might as well dropkick and go for the points.

Lets say a ball carrier loses control of the ball behind the line of scrimmage, and accidentally kicks it forward with his calf.

Is that a punt?
