It isn't enough to just throw deep. I'm sure you can find stats that support the claim that the Rams do throw deep.
The key point is that it's HOW they throw deep. It's bland, simple, and easily defended..
And yet they have a good completion percentage. So it (meaning the long pass) can't be "easily defended" because it regularly works. Plus they don't just "throw long"--it is a calculated core part of their entire offensive approach, has been for a couple of years, and they use it to good effect.
"Bland" is subjective, I can't debate it. That's you expressing a subjective view. It's how you see it, personally. So there's nothing to go back and forth on regarding the facts with that. It's your 2 cents.
My 2 cents is different. I think of the great play action set-ups where someone from Britt to Kendricks to even Harkey is wide open. That's calculated and methodically set up.
In contrast to you I think the issue with the Fisher offense has been having no qbs, then a shakey OL, and then third...problems at WR. But it hasn't been design.
