McNabb threw it down field all game every game. So did Vick and Foles.
Here are the amount of throws OVER 20 YARDS IN THE AIR, NOT YAC McNabb has each year.
04 71
05 38
06 47
07 43
08 62
09 48
Mike Vick threw 55 passes over 20 yards in the air in 2010 (in 12 games)
In 2011 he threw 50 in 13 games
He threw 42 in 2012 in 9 games
Then came Nick Foles who threw 27 passes over 20 yards in the air in 8 starts under Reid.
Alex Smith only threw 18 passes ALL YEAR that traveled 20 yards in the air or more.
18
I don't want to ever hear how that's Andy Reid's fault....or the offenses fault.
The offense is built to test defenses deep constantly.

Smith won't go down field because he has to many easy check downs in Reid's horizontal offense.
Never stop the Reidcuses.
