In terms of how difficult a pass is to make, how much strength, vision, decrease in quality, chances of a short pass etc etc etc, all of the things that come from a pass's distance.
If one Wide out is near the sideline, and another wideout is directly midfield in front of the QB, and both are 3 yards down field from the line of scrimmage...
Is the pass to the Sideline WR a tougher pass to make and catch than one to the Midfield WR because of the direct actual distance between the QB and receiver?
Or are both passes just "3 yard passes" and the distance effect upon the pass the same to the Sideline and Midfield receiver due to their distance from the line of scrimmage?
Shorter version, is pass distance based upon a physical XY calculation between the QB and WRs locations, or is it solely based upon the receiver's distance from the line of scrimmage?

Quality calculations and the like are based on the physical X/Y distance from the QB. Special abilities and VA's that say "5 yard pass" etc are determined from the LOS.
