Can’t think of a lower parentage play to try there.

Dont like it.

 

Edit: lol, should have watched the video first. They actually mention that, statistically, fades work less often than BROKEN PLAYS do. 

 

Yep.  I have never liked this play.

Not a fade really but Aaron Rodgers threw the most perfect back shoulder TD yesterday. The WR executed the catch. It’s a beautiful thing to watch when done right but has to be so precise.

With Josh Allen, a predetermined GL fade to anybody is irresponsible.

I'd argue the back shoulder fade and the over the top fade are essentially the same route concept with a different target point. The lines have blurred a bit imho as time goes on, but yeah Rodgers has always thrown the best damned back shoulder sideline fade. Bar none.
