This is the Dialog We Need
Earlier this year, I talked with Raidernation about this same thing. RD had some very good substance in what he talked about. It relates directly to what you are talking about. I would like to bring Jim Davis in on this discussion because we will need to tweak this rule.
I've seen first hand when defenders are in the passing lane how the impossible pass was completed which cause a little frustration on the defensive coach's part. Contrastly, the quarterback known as "The Box" for Penn State has been one of the worst passers in the league regarding interceptions. So, there is some give and take there. However, I think you do hit on something that needs to be addressed by the Rules Committee once the season is done.
But some dialog needs to be discussed regarding this. Thanks for bringing it to our front page. Also, in the Big 10, no one has once complained that Jim Davis's wins have been cheap. They have had to learn to play through the impossible throws because it has failed for Jim as well. The system has hurt Jim Davis a lot. He's had to mix up his game more where he would have been more of a power runner.
Now to matriculate the ball down the field may take 8-10 plays which means a fumble can happen. So he throws and for the most part, it has worked against him. But no one has complained that his wins are cheap or his losses are tainted. They just play.
If anyone is thinking that way about your wins, don't worry your head about that as this is a vital part of the league. Furthermore, it is important that we take findings and analyze them. We need guys like you and Jim Davis leading the way on coming up with a solution for everyone.
