re: The Fallacy of the Long Pass

And I’m replying that throwing deep (or intermediate) has other advantages other than the big play.

I do agree with ny that its not like the coaching staff is stupid. If we see it, they see it. They are pros. And I think they’ve made a philosophical decision that the QB problems last year were a result of big play mistakes ruining the psyche of the QB. So they are being ultra careful to build JJ’s confidence.

I don’t think that’s a bad strategy entirely. There’s a lot of truth to it. But he has to throw over the middle eventually. The reward, I believe, now outweighs the risk. JJ will throw a pick. It’s okay. Good things will happen from using the middle of the field as well.
