I know exactly what you are saying Dimitri. Your route there is essentially a hook.
I don't mid the buzzball system for this pass actually and the reason is a hook is designed to run as a short pass. If you were to run that pattern say 30-40 yards downfield there is a very good chance that the safety would jump the route for an interception. Or a zone LB would just step back to make a play on it.
That route is best designed for a 6 yard pattern where the receiver will be tackled almost immediately. But it is generally a very safe pattern as it's a tough pass to intercept if placed properly.
It's not a perfect system but for that pattern it does make sense because of it's difficulty to complete that route in real life.
Just my thoughts anyways.
