I think I should have explained the concept of the game first.

It's playing MF where you move the players. Offense and defense
set up in their formations on a checkerboard type field. The players
move a certain number of squares based on a roll of a die. Ex: Center
and guards move 2 - 4 squares, OT 3-4 squares, WR 5 - 7 squares
Def: Ends 4 - 5 squares, tackles 3 - 4 squares, LB 4-5 Squares
This may change while refining game. Dice will determine dominance
on contact between players, broken tackles, fumbles, and injuries.
I want a game where you have some command over the game.

With passing how would you determine distance? I was looking at
AB's MPFL passing it may work or a version of it. I want to take into
consideration bullet passes, lob passes, bad passes, on target, thread
the needle, completions and interceptions.

I also want to intergrate a kicker that actually kicks, that may be the
answer a qb that throws the ball.
