The funny part is that you actually consider yourself 'educated'.
Of course they want a 15 yard out with zip.... but they still call it a 15 yard out, not a 20.25 yard out taking into consideration the angle.
Plus, the throw for the 15 yard out is MUCH different that a throw downfield.
A 15 yard out has to get there in a hurry. You are throwing into traffic.
Downfield, especially if you look off the safety, you just have to lay it up and give your WR a shot at the ball. Place it on the outside shoulder to where he can only get it.
Talking about the angle on a downfield throw is stupid.
