that thread is old ... it begins working when the player sees the ball coming, not when the ball is deflected
yeah, it "works" on all passes in the sense that the VA can be active.
when it was first created it was for deflected passes only, but changed last season so it is when he sees the ball coming.
The idea that it only "works" on bad throws is just because if it's a good throw, the WR doesn't need extra speed/agi to get to the ball. On a bad throw, he'd have to adjust to it and could use the boost. So it's always useful for a CB, but not always useful for a WR.
And the longer the ball is in the air, the more time you have for BH to work, so it is more useful on long plays than short. So better on speedsters who tend to go deep a lot, than possession type receivers working the underneath routes.
