is the post i answered.
Nothing about a non-quarterback in this.

You certainly maid it clear that this is your oppinion, but it wasn't your argument. |

It was one of my arguments. There's more than one here.
Do you watch Canadian football? In that, passes are much more common than in American football, due mostly to the 3 downs instead of 4 but because of other rule differences as well. Rushing yards are usually only 10-30% of a team's offensive yards in this game. So we get to see lots of passing attempts, and even a few by non-quarterbacks (about once a game on average). I've rarely, if ever, seen anyone, quarterback or not, fumble a ball as he was throwing it when the ball was not wet and no pressure was applied to him. |

I am sorry to say no.
Most TV-networks over here does not know if there exist other kinds of sport than soccer.
And the few NLF games that made it here were transmitted live meaning from 10 pm sunday to 1 am monday (Superbowl from midnight to 4 am monday).
My opinion is that passing game should belong to those teams which can field a thrower, not those with a lucky AG5 player, hence the difference in fumbling rates.
On the other hand if you got AG5 you know for sure that your pass never will be inaccurate.
You either fumble the ball or make the pass which gives you way more ball control than a normal thrower. |

How about putting your foot into a divot on the uneven turf? most bloodbowl stadia aren't going to be in the best possible repair and the pitches would be of a similar state, and such an incident would lead to more fumbles as you would have your concentration distracted. Or the fact that the ball may vary in shape from the perfect egg-shaped ball used in real football.

I won't pretend that my arguement is irrefutable, it is merely my own opinion. |
