That was definitely on a lot of people minds yesterday... chunk plays are thrilling and we DO still need more of them from Smith, but there is also something to be said for high percentage throws that extend drives and keep your defense off the field
Gotta keep the chains moving, and going bombs away every other play is no way to consistently accomplish that... a balance needs to be struck
