I hope and expect that Reid's scheme will want what you want. I don't like the throws or routes short of the 3rd down marker either, but there must be some reason coaches have receivers running them, eh?

Yes mac, and occasionally, a check down can work, but lets be honest. far too many times, alex smith too the short check down rather than pushing the ball down the field. Occasionally, an incomplete pass past the 1st down marker, is better than a check down that leaves you short. At least then the defense knows you will push the issue. I am not criticizing alex smith. I am simply stating that with the support Andy Reid has put behind him that there is no reason for him not to take more chances than he has in the past.
I fully understand while he was in San Francisco of being afraid to make mistakes. Andy Reid is not going to replace him for one mistake. His leash is a lot longer than that.
