Like Grimes said, the ball could have been caught. You just sound like a Mangum hater looking for every possible negative, and that throw, while not perfect, is not an indictment of Mangum. It was a good throw. Not perfect, but good. It most definitely was not a "bad throw".

You are correct. I just watched the play 15 times and in slow motion.

That was more like an 80-20 ball. A decent receiver makes that play

Believe me. Romney is a "decent" receiver. And he will continue to improve.

I didn't mean that as a slight to Romney. Everyone makes mistakes, but i think

And good QBs don’t throw 50-50 balls to receivers that are behind the defense.

It wasn’t a 50-50 ball. The defender had no chance at an interception.
