When's the last time he's hit a deep ball? If Moss isnt open than there is no deep ball. You are correct about his short and intermediate balls, they are ok at best.

JC avoided pressure and hit Moss square in the hands on a beautifully thrown deep ball last night, and Moss just flat dropped it. That's not on Jason.

I was wondering when was the last time they completed one, not the last time they came close to completing one. I suspect its been awhile.

Your point was that JC can't throw the deep ball. GMScud pointed out that JC threw a beautiful ball to Moss last night. You dismissed it as evidence that JC can throw the deep ball because Moss dropped it. Care to explain that twisted logic? If you think JC's short and intermediate game suck, and his deep ball sucks, then I suppose you think he sucks, right? Or are you just complaining about JC for complaining's sake?

Anyways, it depends on how you define "deep ball." He was throwing very nice deep balls earlier in the season. He hit Moss for a 35 yarder against the Browns, a 50 yarder against the Lions, and several big gains at the Cowboys.

Throwing a deep ball and connecting on them are 2 different things. Also 1 or 2 per game doesnt mean he can do it with any consistency. If he was really accurate as you suggested earlier I'd think they go deep more often since he could hit that target.

JC needs lots of improvement in all facets of his game but having another WR besides Moss would help.

Having better pass protection would help more. All of our receivers can get open, but it's much more difficult for Jason to deliver the ball in rhythm when he's getting knocked on his butt. I'm pleased with Campbell's game when he's not getting harrassed every play. He throws a nice long ball, and his deep sideline throws have great velocity (preventing DB's from recovering). He almost never throws into double coverage - his decision making seems solid. As a bonus, he seems to make at least one play each game with his legs to sustain a drive. It's time for the braintrust to address our weak pass protection if we hope for Jason to play consistently as an upper echelon QB.
