There's always a ton of confusion over the passing rules so I thought a solid use of procrastination time would be to design a chart for it. Forgive me if it's been done and can be found elsewhere...
Edit: this is the latest version (2013-10-20). pm me if you would like the Excel or PDF.

Sweet. Think I might print this out and laminate it for our league, with your consent?

Sure, of course. Or let me know if you'd like the Excel file so you can resize, etc.

MEDIUM NOTE:
Strong Arm doesn’t make much difference either. Especially when you factor in the number of passes that are Quick compared to the others.

@Afroman:
ignore Excel just download (open source)
LibreOffice, it can open any MS format file.. And it is a really good text editor in that as well.

Well, it's only worth it if you know you're going to take Accurate later on a normal roll (or for TTM), but we knew that already. You take Acc+SA for long throws, particularly to get over the 4+ hump, ie turning a 75% play into a 89% play (3+ with rr), which means it's attractive to the Short-passing AG2 Thrower (?? Khemri), the Bombing AG4s (Elves), and Long-passing AG3s. Sweet spot is obviously AG3 teams with AG4 receivers, so Skaven, Pact, and Humans/Norse/Zons/etc with +AG targets.
The most interesting point to me is that +AG improves your accuracy (decreases inaccurate chance), while Accurate decreases your fumble chance. MOAR confusion!
Also, a reasonable substitute for both Accurate and SA is Safe Throw, if you're throwing long. Strikes me as a good choice alongside Dump-Off as well, for more than the obvious interception prevention: helps control the spill and avoid fumbles. Arguably equal to NoS anyway (pros/cons).

I've updated the chart to make it easier to read. Also have one with no colours, only letters, great for printing black&white, which I can attach if there's interest.
