Get rid of all these worthless players this offseason

Where are the deep posts, the go routes, the corner routes, any type of double move whatsoever?

You've admitted that we've been seeing open receivers down the field after the games have been played. Alex just doesn't like pulling the trigger.

There have been opportunity's to throw down the field, Alex just not taking the shots. Andy likes to attack horizontally instead of vertically, so you get a lot more passing concepts like shallow crosses, dagger, mesh concept..anything with a short crosser and maybe a dig behind it. Makes it easy for Alex to just read one defender. He will flood the sideline but never takes the deeper read.. usually always throws the receiver guy running the arrow (either a RB or WR). He is also a big fan of double slants, curl/flat, stick and tare concepts which is why it seems like Bowe is always catching a curl/hitch/comeback. Theres nothing wrong with these concepts- they are universally run throughout the NFL. Problem is KC does not try to stretch vertically with the exception of Kelce/Fasano running a seam. Why no smash concepts? Hitch/corner? Because that is a long throw.. too long for Alex to trust himself. The distance to throw a 30yd seam route is not the same as a 30yd corner route.
