No difference....
There're both well dodge and I think should be frowned upon whenever they happen.
Sorry, but it just does not make much sense...
PRE-MATCH TEAM TALK, COACH TO PLAYERS:
"Right, if we win the coin toss it will be the 7_3_1 set up, if they win we'll be using the 3_5_3 formation.
And remember you positional players and guys with high AG; ensure you make a couple of pointless completions behind our lines, ok?"
Hmmmmmmmmm   |

In the same way One-turn scorers and stalling should be frowned upon?
Sorry, geting a bit niggly now  |

Well kindof.....
Well it's only what I think really. I have probably done such a thing in my long (and sometimes colourfull) Bloodbowl playing history, but it does kinda get on my nerves when people push the limits of the rules all the time. Sure, it 'could' happen, but for God sake, just cause you could do it doesn't mean you HAVE to.
(oh and by the way, one turn scorers are fair, stalling is ok in certain circumstances but I normally don't approve....) |

I don't have a problem with it myself. It's just good practice, like ensuring that you score with the player that needs 3 SPP for their next skill. And it's a bit of a risk. I have seen people fail to score, or even lose the ball and concede an easy TD, from dropping one of those quick passes.
I don't think it's that unrealistic either. Have you not heard of mocking the opposition? "We're so good we're going to play catch in the backfield while our linesmen slap you down. Then we're going to score an easy TD, and then humiliate you again in the second half." |

Father Tim coaches the Dark City Dukes, a Dark Elf team in the MBBL. It is very common for him to make 3 to 5 back field passes a game to get the SPPs.
He got one of the most skill balanced rosters I've ever seen.
This is his team after 14 games played:

And his doing those back field passes has never bothered me one bit.

Intrest topic....One turn touchdowns & Stalling...
One turners are great - it gives you something to think about - makes it more of a game of chess, is he gonna go for it, or is he gonna hang back and try to punch through once I've overextended...
You'll find that the teams that can get one turners tend to all have the low armour values - elves, skaven, and even goblins or halflings (no I wont mention Snotlings...hee hee) Stalling is part of the game - ANY sports game. It isn't pretty, but it can win you the match! |

We've got a few teams who do the same thing. It gets their passing skills up, but quite frankly, they just aren't that good at making TDs as a result.
On the original topic, one very good reason for Big Guys to not get SPPsfor TTM is that in order to have a completed pass, you have to have the ball. That's a lot harder than just standing next to one of 10 gobbos on the pitch. Heck, you could even do it while the other team was running a TD. At least to wheedle points with your passers, you have to have the ball. And if you drop it, not only does your turn end, but I'l throw my gobbo in there to get it and run a TD.  |

just stumbled across this discussion, since i'm the only player in Kalten's league who uses big guys and gobbo's i can see why it came up. however, my friend you underestimate me! I've known this for years, don't confuse sporting play with ignorance. 
next you'll be saying that we come last in tournaments or something.... |
