Here it comes:  not fades. Fades are thrown to the outside corner for receivers to run under. I call what Stanford does "rebound". Because essentially the receiver gets piston, uses his body to screen the defender and beats him to the ball at its high point.

KC threw all 3 perfectly.

You also missed two nice fades for TD’s.

In fact, I think we were 3/3 with three TD’s on the fade.

You are right, they are not, strictly speaking, fades.  Still, “fade” is often used as a shorthand for any play that features a high-ish throw to the outside of the end zone.

But your criticism is fair, as the fade is a lower percentage play, as it depends more on timing and placement.  Though a well thrown fade is harder to defend,  with our bigger receivers (JJAW and Parkinson), The “rebounds” are just as hard to defend.
