Nobody criticized him for it. It isn't his fault it wasn't caught, but it never should have been thrown. There is threading the needle and then there is forcing it. You are not expected to catch that pass, I completely disagree. You hope to catch that, and that is all. The ole' "if it hits your hands, you gotta catch it" doesn't apply when you're getting sucker punched from three different sides at the same exact time.
