that's a very common response. And it has value. Those who doubt Fisher and Snead's 'drafting' prowess always bring this up.
For me there is give and take... they haven't always 'hit', but they also have not always 'failed'... and IMHO their overall record in bringing in talent is more positive than negative... I would say, decidedly so.
Yet NONE of that addresses the 'coaching' once they are onboard. And therein I see problems, you do not.
And yes, opponents DO see what's coming. It's not the number 'totals'... it's the situation and what to expect the preponderance of times. So the fact that Keenum can hit a deep pass occasionally, or that Britt can catch one, or Austin - or that they might try a 'gimmick' play more often than most... and certainly not that all possibilities are not in their playbook.
Yes they DO see them coming, because they know WHEN they are coming. So it's not the 'attempts'... it's the predictability of 'when'. In the end, an as you often like to show us in stats, it's not the 'number' at all which without further contemplation may indicate equal numbers of deep vs short, (only one example). Never was. - JamesJM
