Of those 16 passes, I bet at least 6 of them were catches by Chris Chambers had to stop his route and come back to the football because the pass was soo off.

I think he will develop into a good short route thrower and decision maker, but the thing that will keep us from beating good teams is the lack of stretching the field. Its too bad, this running game could explode on a grand scale if we could consistently keep the opposing safeties out of the box.

I'm not concerned that he only completed 16 passes over 20 yards, that's 8 more than he completed the year before and the exact same number that Brady completed in 2009. Hell Matt Ryan only completed 9 and Mark Sanchez 10 last season.

I don't care how many passes he completed over 20 yards, either.

I do care how many of those completions were accurately thrown balls.

Most of those were poorly thrown balls that the receivers had to make major adjustments to.

I think there were two of them that would have been sure touchdowns had they been even close to accurate, on drives that ended up in FGs.
