Legal snap...simply disagree with jchamp's and bigjohn's judgement of the snap.

Fair enough. As long as the rules book includes language that leaves room for judgment, such as "quick" and "immediately", there will always be that potential.
Some day, the human element will be completely removed from the game and our job can be performed by automotons basing their calls on the use of an irrefutably measurable rule set. Until then, the closest we have is EA Sports. And I'm content to let it be that way for a while longer.

Quick and immediate have a different speed for 12 year olds than 17 year olds.

OK, then just put it this way. Picking up the ball and handing it to the QB is not a snap. Period.

Know what's really funny? We already had this issue discussed about that video in a thread here. And I'm pretty sure some of you wrote in that thread.
