But Stanley can't/won't play a deep ball. A deep ball to him is 1-2 yards past the line of scrimmage. He cannot effectively hit a receiver more than 10 yards down field. He needs a lot of work in the off season.
He hit two over 20 yrds just in the first Q last Saturday. In addition, it's not always about making the completions. Teams still have to attempt to throw downfield even if incomplete, just to keep the D honest. It's the game within the game. One hopes for a positive end to every play, but people have to understand that won't happen 100% of the time. That doesn't mean you stop attempting.
Same with blitz, I look at a blitz as a means to speed the game up for the QB. There won't be a sack on every play and a sack is a bonus. The goal is to shorten the decision making time and hopefully into an aberrant outcome, such as interception, maybe not complete as long as route as wanting, incompletion, and a bonus sack.
