Calculated understanding is not "risk adverse."
And while it's fun to watch the ball go downfield, go ask a Lion's fan if they'd take a little more sustained drives versus 50 yard jump balls that end in interceptions.
We've got a kick ass punter. I don't want one in my quarterback as well.

Not sure what Alex's problem was in the San Francisco game, but he needs to get the ball out MUCH quicker on hot routes.
WCO is all about timing, and I'm sure he knows that just because a guy is covered when you drop back to pass doesn't mean he won't be open when the ball leaves your hand.
Hell, a QB that everybody wants to compare Alex to in Rich Gannon didn't always wait for his receivers to get open. He MADE them open.
Alex has to do the same or he's ****ing garbage.
