Other teams are and have had success without deep threats and great team speed.
Pitt and Tenn currently are plodding teams. Connor and Henry aren't exactly homerun hitters. Neither is JJSS, Claypool, AJ Brown or Corey Davis. Its works for them, because their teams' OCs make it work.
All I've heard this year about Tom Brady, is that how badly a mistake Arians is making by forcing the deep ball on Tom when its not his forte. The Pats won umteen SBs with no real deep threats or HR hitting RBs. Which brings me to my point and a question:
My point: McVay is smart enough to win without a deep threat. And you can win in the NFL without scary speed.
My question: Is Goff talented enough to play CONSISTANT winning football without a deep threat?
On Sunday in the game time forum, I questioned whether Goff can process fast enough to ever reach that next level. His delay of games, his questionable throwing into double teams, his unawareness in the pocket...A deep deep ball is basically hit your drop step in your drop back and let it rip. No thought process about it. You Goff deep threat theory works with my Slow processor Goff theory.
BTW, I was also a huge supporter of a deep threat in the draft. My mocks are littered with them. So I don't disagree.
