That saves ... what? Ten or fifteen seconds? The problem is that inexperienced DCs might not know this and get in the bad habit of relying on auto-tags, meaning they get burned by one elusive being different from another. As geekor posted, this just promotes laziness and inaccuracy. It seems like a good idea in theory, but it won't be in practice. It takes maybe thirty seconds to tag an opponent, so let's not employ shortcuts that will produce adverse results.
1st place team in USAPL has two QBs of the rushing archetype who only pass. http://goallineblitz.com/game/scout_team.pl?team_id=759 Auto-tag = auto-loss.

In that situation, no tagging would probably also be an auto-loss.
The archetype tagging is not supposed to be perfect. It is just supposed to be better than not tagging for quick scrimmages or for when you forget to tag for a game. In more than 90% of the cases, it will meet this threshold.
