He throws a lot of high percentage short passes, stuff that the defense gives the offense for the most part. Look at Cooks he has a lot of catches but they are only going for 7yds a pop. Where are the big plays downfield?

I'm not arguing that at all. If he was throwing behind and late every play, he wouldn't be completing that many passes.

In 2013, 11.8% of his passes were deep balls compared to 8.1% so far this year.

However, his accuracy % is 46.2% this year compared to 40% last year. Stills is just getting healthy, and we've played 3 of our 4 games on the road.
