Still 8 yards isn't a dump off. Mix that with a 2 yard run and it's a first down every time. 8 yards and a 70% chance of getting the completion? That's how Montana made his living. Not saying Alex is Montana.

Yep. That offense had a lot of designed, clear-out dump passes to benefit the field position game. Plus, we had a quick-read offense that required the QB to read the D and make the quick hit pass underneath to allow for YAC. That was the Harbaugh way, and I can't blame him for utilizing it. We didn't have any real deep threat receivers worth a shit... aside from a wheel-route or seam pass for VD every now and then. (which we inexplicably got away from, though it was such an effective approach)
