I find that pivoting a receiver after a pass can lead too many TDs and too much yardage, not realistic in my experiments.

I used to do this in solitaire play and then started playing LAEFL rules early this year (no pivot after the reception), I asked why they do not allow the pivot, then I began to see why, it is just not realistic.

Those who allow pivots, do you think it is too easy and too beneficial on the offense?

If you need to pivot the receiver, then really test your skill as a passer and do it with the ball. I am a pretty good passer, but find that in trying to pivot the receiver with a hard pass actually improves the passing skills in general.

I have seen a lot of skilled coaches turn the receiver with a hard pass, to me that's an invaluable skill to have and one that I continue to work on.

I know a lot of leagues allow a pivot, but now that I stopped doing it, I like it better this way.
