Exactly.

When you look at Reid/Alex their strengths are magnified together and their weaknesses compound.

Or does Alex just never give those deep plays time to develop and actually try to make the throw?

When asked to throw deep Alex was accurate, threw with velocity, and made good decisions.

Why was he only asked to throw deep late?

Why did he only look deep late?

Design of the play?
Tight butthole syndrome?

Chicken or egg...
