LOS: 5 of your guys 3 oppos lying down
Backfield: 5 of your guys and 8 opps' to cover them
2'nd turn: Blitz free one of your guys in the backfield and walk forward with your safe throw thrower for that 2+, 2+ td
easy as pie! Safe throw is one of the most awsome skills out there for a thrower.

Listen to Eagle! Eagle is good, Eagle is wise!

Whoever is saying, that safe throw is useless shows that he doesn´t know too much about the game IMO. Situations, where you don´t have many other options than throwing over an opponent happen quite often.

A 1in6 situation isn´t that rare than you might thought - just remember how often your elves fail a dodge or how often you skull on a 1dblock.

Safethrow reduces an interception from a 1 in 6 to a 1 in 216. Quite effective, especially as a pass is more often than not a key-action which decides who scores this drive.

I have used Safe throw on TableTop. Only once.

And you know what I got?

1, 1.

And it cost me the game.

Safe throw is like buying an insurance when the dealer get's an Ace in blackjack. It pays off.

Well, the rarity of interceptions is caused by the fact that most passes are thrown without possibility to intercept. When even a saurus in 3 tacklezones can intercept one of six balls traveling over his head, who would deliberately throw the ball taking that risk? The extra movement allowance can be useful to prevent that.
