... and see, that's just it. There are situations in games where you have to take the risk. Alex has and will... but he won't make a bunch of them all game long. He's more inclined to concede a drive if there's lots of time later to try again. If you could combine this mentality with other QBs like Tony Homo, then you have yourself a perfect QB. Was he like this due to his coaches pushing it on him? Yes... and it made sense for a multitude of reasons. (strong D, STs, and underwhelming offensive evolution)
Andy Reid will tinker with this mentality and likely loosen things up.
