Don't remember who or even what team. But I think it was like 3rd and 3. A RB comes out of the backfield and runs a short 4 yard out to the right. The QB throws the ball about a stride too far. So was the QB throwing to a spot where the back should have been? I mean, the QB is looking right at the guy. Sees where he is. But the play calls for a particular spot. I see it more as leading the receiver based on the speed and situation of the receiver rather than throwing to a spot. For me, leading a receiver on a play is not throwing to a spot but rather judging where the receiver is going to be. Throwing to a spot is more of a decision to just throw the ball to a place based on practice and the plan of that play. Like a fade in the endzone. Or a Unitas to Berry out. You can't just throw to spots all the time. You have to throw to the man. And that man should be allowed (where we disagree) to break off his route and get open if he sees an opening. There is a huge upside in that imho.</blockquote>
