Give Drew credit for admitting the deep throws have been missing.

Being able to throw the deep ball and 'stretching the field' is certainly an important weapon for an offense to possess and display.
But let's not play down the valuable aspects of a 'dink & dunk' offense either. Throwing a bomb for a quick score does nothing to wear down an opposing defense nor does it run a lot of clock. True, a 10-15 play drive needs a lot of great execution by your offense in order to reach the goal of scoring points. But when a QB is as efficient at completing such long drives for points as Drew was, this style of offense basically sets up a team for success in the last quarter of a game simply due to expending the defense of the opponent; while at the same time giving yours a chance to stay fresh to the end.

I get it, the bombs are exciting and make for an impressive highlight reel after the game. I love them as well! But if these flashy long passes aren't connecting in a game (for whatever reason), it just becomes a quick series with no points... and possibly no 'W'.

It's all about scoring points. I totally agree that having the ability to launch 60+ yard rainbows can keep our opponents guessing, but 'ball control' is equally important in order to have a successful offense. On Sunday Jameis and his team showed the ability to do both as they romped over the Packers. But having the right balance on offense is still the key. We saw that demonstrated very well on the field in Jacksonville. I really want to see that good balance throughout the season! :9:
