He probably doesn't even try it." Even if the pass goes incomplete the fact that he had made the throw shows the defense that it is something we'll do. When MB isn't making the throws the defense simply stops putting any effort into defending it since MB has shown he isn't willing to do it. I really think keeping the defense from simply eliminating one aspect of your offense is the key to offensive success in the NFL now. JC really gives us a better chance at that. I am a big JC believer.

Nice post.
Your right, JC has no fear to throw the ball. Granted, he has thrown of couple int's (maybe because no fear) but he threads the needle frequently.
Look at the td pass to Cooley. Looking at the replay, I thought...what a great pass as Cooley was getting doubled with another defender in the area. He throws that type of ball all the time. Given a little more time, he will be spectacular
