9 throws of 20+ in over 150 attempts is embarrassing and unacceptable.
So on passes of 10 yards or more he is 25/38 (66%) for 496 yards (13 per attempt) with 4TD and 0 INT. Do it more
We’ve definitely got to attack more
Exactly. It seems to be a confidence issue. He only goes deep when the game is on the line and we have no choice. He's got to do it more, or else we have to find someone that will.Quote:

He's shown he can move this offense and move it quickly but he's got to quit being so cautious. Probably traumatized by watching Costello throw all those ints last year(I know I was).Quote:

You also might draw a pass interference penalty. There are positives to throwing it deep.
I could care less about the deep ball, just freaking change that 28.2 behind the line of scrimmage. That is atrocious!
Haha so trueQuote:

Ironically his only interception thus far was on a pass behind the LOS.Quote:

It's insane. Everyone in the stands can see people open. Like wide ass open. And Will checks it down most of the time.Quote:

That's the other thing. It's not like we don't have good receivers now. Heath and Polk can catch deep balls. Walley is a play maker. Not to mention others. Even Austin Williams is a solid receiver.Quote:

I think he even said he'd tell Madkin he didn't care if he overthrew it by 10 yards, that we were just doing it for show...if we caught it that was a bonus. At the very least, we need to do that, bc nobody respects our offense beyond 10-15 yards....nobody.Quote:

That is wild
