safe throw

[Skummy]

Well, it depends on the quarterback. Elway had such a strong arm that there was almost no arc on his passes. They were quite often low enough to be intercepted.

Good thing he had safe throw...

I generally dislike the 2+ or 4+ tendency of GW rules, and prefer 3+ instead for skills like safe throw. However, I find myself agreeing with the fact that the skill isn't taken too often, so there may not be a point in making it a 3+.

passblock isn't about interceptions generally. it's about putting tackle zones on the thrower and catcher, about forcing the pass to go where you want it to, about making it tougher for the player who threw the pass to do something with it afterwards.

This depends completely on the passblocker himself. If the pass blocker is not an elf, this is true. If he's an elf(or GR), then pass block suddenly is all about interceptions. Especially if he's AG5 with Catch (VLL helps too if he's a GR)...
And it's true that such players don't get a chance to pass block too often. But that's ok, the fact that my pass blocker can close a certain area from passing completely forces the opposing team to play the game my way. Or be turned over by an interception.

Why do I get the feeling that in the end you TOTALLY agreed with me? We're saying the EXACT same thing, just in a different way.
