Message: [QUOTE="Fjoinkay, post: 375131, member: 604"] When I think of back shoulder throws I think of Peyton Manning. Of course, he can throw the fade or the back shoulder, but he is great at the back shoulder throw. He threw one for a TD this weekend against the Pats. I believe he hit Eric Decker on the right side of the end zone. The throw was low and behind Decker, and Decker slowed his forward momentum and came back to receive the ball low or under his left or back shoulder. The key was that the ball was thrown on a line and in a place where the defender could not make a play on the ball. The defender's forward momentum makes it more difficult to come back to defend that pass. The advantage is with the offense because they know it isn't a fade, and they know the receiver is going to change momentum and come back to the ball. [/QUOTE]
