I hate everyone calling it a 50-50. For that to be true both the DB and WR need an equal opportunity to get the ball. Only one player had a chance and that was Romney.

If a pass has to be exactly perfect for the WR to make the catch, then the WR is

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.

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

Sure. I was just using the terminology that was used in the post I replied to. But the fact remains, he threw a pass
