But I was given inaccurate info on that so forget my long bomb vs long pass.

I just want to know if this is the intention of safe throw. I just don't think it is...
Do you mean whether the option to use a modifier (accurate, strong arm) was intended so he keeps it in his hands? If so, then yes it was a design consideration intended to make safe throw more useful with combo skills.

The problem with LRB5 Safe Throw was that it was such a marginal skill, there was no case to take it over other passing skills. Now, safe throw + accurate/strong arm allows the passer to risk a shot down the field without the same likelihood of utter disaster on a fumble. It doesn't make the pass anymore likely to complete, but it does promote more passing attempts, which was the point of the re-jig.

That's all I wanted:) Just could have been a big difference if it wasn't play tested that way.

Thanks!
