Yes, there is only one way it can happen, thats if the ball is batted into the air by a defender as its thrown. or a ball is thrown and it hits sumone in the helmet and goes into air, then the QB becomes a receiver and can catch and advance the ball. But it has to be contacted after it was thrown. So if a QB goes to throw  the ball and his arm is hit, but ball is not touched and the ball goes into air, that is a fumble, and the ball cannot be advanced, only recovered if the qb catches it. If the ball goes straight into air from a QBs hand, its technically a fuble recovery if he catches it LOL.. and it cant be advanced

Found this article...hope it helps. I also suggest watching college football and some pro (I'm not a pro football fan) watching the receivers and seeing how they fake and spin...it takes practice and repetition.\n\nYour passing game starts with the ability of your football wide receivers to get separation from their defenders. It doesn't matter if you have the greatest quarterback in the world if his receivers can't give him a window to throw to.\n\nThe first step is to teach your wide receivers how to get off the line. If the defenders are pressing and bumping at the line, the receiver must know how to beat the pressure. Begin by teaching fakes. The most basic is the "head bob". This is where the football wide receiver moves his head to one side while getting his body moving straight or to the other side. A good shoulder fake can spice this move up.\n\nSince defensive backs will eventually pick up on a repeated fake, teach your receivers to mix things up with double-fakes (fake one way, then the other, then move beyond the defensive back).\n\nFootball wide receivers must also be taught how to use their hands to gain separation. Teach the "rip" and "swim" techniques. If cutting left, teach them to use the right arm to "rip" up through the cornerback's arms. For the "swim" technique, teach your wide receivers to bring the inside arm up and over the corner's arms to knock the arms downward.\n\nOnce off the line, good route running is obviously an important skill to develop. One way to help your football wide receivers get open is to have them run hard to a specific spot, get control (possibly use a fake here) and make the cut. Plant the foot away from the direction of the cut, make the cut and then accelerate into the cut. Teach your players the importance of getting the defensive back moving backwards and then cutting away from them.\n\nBesides the straight line charge, you can also have your football receivers use an S-shape weave to get open. Have them run quickly at the defensive back to get close, then "curve" around him to gain separation.\n\nAgainst man-to-man coverage, learning the art of good cuts and making those cuts at the right time will be extremely important to the success of your wide receivers. Against zone coverage, it's a bit different. Since the defensive backs are defending an area, the football receivers won't need to use their fakes quite as much since they just need to find the holes in the zone.\n\nOne often over-looked area where you can give your players an advantage is in your scouting of the opposition. Don't underestimate the importance of exploiting how your players match up to the other guys. Figure out how you can game-plan how to get your best or fastest receiver matched up against the opposition's weakest or slowest defensive back.\n\nTeach your football wide receivers the correct fundamentals for getting open, game-plan your match ups effectively, then sit back and feel the satisfaction of watching a beautifully executed big play win the game for your players.\n\nMatt & Dave run http://www.football-plays-and-drills.com/get-open and enjoy teaching football players and coaches more about the football plays, drills, fundamentals and tips that result in individual and team success.

A backwards pass is called a lateral and is not considered a pass.  If dropped it is considered a fumble so is part of the running game.

He doesn't give his best effort on every play. This is easily misdiagnosed sometimes, because of the scheme, and the play. It usually refers to defensive lineman. Sometimes they are supposed to rush the Qb and sometimes they have to stay put to cover the run, so it looks as if they are not giving the best effort.

It's basically the same as for a normal pass, linemen aren't allowed to go past the line of scrimmage, though they usually get a couple yards cushion, until the ball is passed or ran past the line of scrimmage.  Also offensive linemen can be called for illegal man downfield if they touch a pass before another player on the field does.

Yes, but that secario would never occur where you would want to do that because:\n\nA) If you are in field goal range (Roughly on the 40Yrd Line or closer) a punt would easily go into the endzone. You're better trying for the field goal if u can make it or just punt if u can't. A fake fieldgoal-punt would still be a touchback so no use in faking.\n\nB)If you are out of range they will obviously send a man back to return the short fieldgoal so it is essentially the same as a punt.\n\nYes you can but it wouldn't help you.

Yes but the coach will chew you out later for taking yourself out of the play by falling down.  The O-line should stay on their feet, alert and ready to block for the entire play.

Maybe it's because they have a running back at the QB spot. The QB running should always be the last option never the first. QB sneaks just a good way to get QB hurt

no, he has to be over the line with the ball

No - pass interference requires contact during the flight of the ball.\n\nHere is the exact list of violations from the NFL that constitute defensive pass interference:\n\nActions that constitute defensive pass interference include but are not limited to:\n\n(a) Contact by a defender who is not playing the ball and such contact restricts the receiver’s opportunity to make the catch.\n\n(b) Playing through the back of a receiver in an attempt to make a play on the ball.\n\n(c) Grabbing a receiver’s arm(s) in such a manner that restricts his opportunity to catch a pass.\n\n(d) Extending an arm across the body of a receiver thus restricting his ability to catch a pass, regardless of whether the defender is playing the ball.\n\n(e) Cutting off the path of a receiver by making contact with him without playing the ball.\n\n(f) Hooking a receiver in an attempt to get to the ball in such a manner that it causes the receiver’s body to turn prior to the ball arriving.

Yes, it is possible!\n\nA defending player could deflect a wayward drop-goal attempt by an opponent.  If the ball then went over the bar and between the posts, it would count.\n\nHowever, there is no rugby equivalent of a "safety" in American Football, where a player tackled in his own end zone concedes two points.

no.  the center is an inelligable reciever.  the center must snap the ball to start the play.  Although it does not have to be snapped to the quarterback.

NO.\nIT WILL BE COUNTED AS EXTRA.\n\nBATSMAN CAN GET OUT IN WIDES.LIKE STUMPED AND RUN-OUT.

If on top of distance, he can throw it accurately, then sure.\n\nOther things come into effect that cannot be measured as easily.  Things like: How mentally tough is he?  How much poise in the pocket?  How good of a leader is he?\n\nJennie, Going by your argument of not more than 215, you wouldn't start Super Bowl champ Big Ben (241), Mcnabb (240). or Culpepper (269)?
