i think we've been asking this for YEARS
To think that those of us who were pushing for the threat of a deep ball got a lot of push back from some really credible posters on the zone. The threat of the deep ball changes how defenses defend you. Period.
Actually what we said was you don't throw deep just to throw deep. It needs to be with purpose and to complete the pass. Many said we should just chuck it deep just to do it.
Now just imagine what this offense could look like with an actual #1 WR who can consistently win deep.
Well when you have defenses cheating by crowding the LOS and playing press man which we faced a lot of with Jimmy at QB, you have to be able to take advantage in order to get them to back off. That was the actual argument.
