But you won't here me state the WR's aren't getting open, as I can't see that for myself. Seems to me, Smith has been spreading the ball around pretty evenly. If they weren't getting open, I'd think all the balls would be getting thrown to TE's and RB's only. Not the case.

THis just goes back to WHEN these targets get open. QBs can't see every route unfold simultaneously across the field.

... but you know this.

yes I do. And I agree. It all depends on when the route gets open as compared to where the QB is in his progression. That is something that is absolutely impossible to know, one way or the other, when looking at film or at a still photo.
