It's like the scorpion and the frog fable. Only instead of the scorpion stinging the frog and dooming them both, it's Alex checking down and only recording 3300 yards.

I'm sorry but this is an incredibly stupid statement.

The past two years he threw for 3300 in 15 games averaging around 220 per game... Thats about 3500 yards per season with the bulk of his receiving corps not even being on NFL teams anymore... You dont think he can throw for 30 more yards a game with all of those guys.
