Before the whole passing stick thing gets out of hand i'd like to explain the purpose.

One. For all coaches who are saying that pass simulation is for people that can't pass with a TTQB, your point is incorrect. The idea of pass simulation is to mimic the football action of a reciever running through the defense from the spot where he is to the spot where the pass is being thrown. It gives the defense a chance to make a play on the football which is not really given in TTQB only passing.

What coaches have to understand is that there are a variety of methods for moving the football in the passing game. A bullet pass is what I would consider a TTQB pass, while a lead the receiver pass is the pass simulation or passing stick method. That is it. No reason to debate one over the other. The stick passing system has been assimilated into virtually ALL leagues and is here to stay.

The passing simulation method was designed for multi-stop MPFL football and is best used in that system. I can see why some of the one-stop pitch or pass coaches would see this as a problem as most of the players are generally rushing forward on defense and have limited ability to move or adjust their angles, pursuit, ect. Making it easier to complete a pass spells doom in that style of play so point taken.

I'd encourage all coaches to continue with the awesome innovations that are currently pushing the game of EF / MF forward rather than keeping it back with traditions that limit the options of the player. The goal that we in the MPFL share is to have this game to play as close to real NFL football as possible. That concept introduces dramatic changes and revisions to the game from the board size, to the timing of the quarters, to the enforcement of the penalties, to the xs and os of the game. In this case, we are moving toward a more realistic chess match with regard to options for passing the football. TTQB, and Pass Simulation. The option is up to the coach and varies greatly according to the situation. For example, if you are an accurate TTQB passer throwing inside the 15 yd line, it is a good look to use the TTQB to bullet the pass through the coverage. Catch...and TD. In situations where you are trailing late in the game, you'll want to throw deeper passes. Lob it up and let the WR go and get it. The defense also gets a chance to move for in for the interception.

Attempts to stymie coaches by saying that stick passing is unskilled or easy in some way is to show a lack of understanding of how the game is currently played and the options that are available in the new EF.

If you guys aren't careful, you're going to end up in my next "greatest haters" poll.
