I'm not talking about the interference. I'm talking about the decision and placement of the throw. In this way, the interference is irrelevant. Yes AJ was held. Yes, on that particular play the ball placement didn't matter because of the penalty. But in Andy's decision making process, it's highly unlikely that the foul ran through his head as he made the decision and released the ball. And if it did, then I'll say it compounds the poor decision. You can't rely on a flag from the refs. Now, I know there's examples of this where players do rely on a flag, more often than not though, it isn't the QB. It's a receiver trying gain an interference call. But there are exceptions.
It was a poorly thrown ball, the foul being irrelevant.
I'll try to find the end zone view that they replayed. But I haven't found it yet and I've looked every where I can think of to look.
And you would still be wrong.
The ball is thrown right on AJ's numbers. When Hayden holds and MOVES AJ, the throw looks inside.
You can say this all you want, you are still wrong. Hayden was out of position. The ball was put where it should have been. Hayden held AJ and made it look like a bad throw.
You can say it is irrelevant (it isn't. It's hugely important.) but his being out of position and BEHIND the WR is why it's a good throw.
If you can't grasp that, then I don't know what to tell you.
That's the only view they showed that shows AJ the whole time. The normal sideline view AJ isn't in until after the ball is almost on him so you can't see anything before hand.
