It's not if it's done correctly. Rookies should avoid the intermediate middle like the plague. There is just too much going on in that part of the field for them to be able to process it. Deep square ins and 20 yard digs shouldn't even be in the playbook for rookies.
You keep the defense from cheating up on the underneath routes by slinging it deep, especially by using double moves. The majority of the routes a team should run are flares, drag routes, quick hitches, tunnel screens, and slants.
You keep the CBs from jumping those routes by running stop and gos and sluggos.
It's limited, but it's a far better alternative than facing 3rd and 7 every drive because the defense plays nine in the box on 1st and 2nd down.
