McNair CAN throw a deep ball, it's just not part of their game plan. That statement is nothing short of inane. I'm just going to let it stand in its own glory. you are wrong, mcnair can throw the deep ball, just can't throw it accurately or to a receiver:-)

First of all...it's only football, don't take it too seriously. Sorry to question your brilliance... Second...different style of recievers - Tony Martin and Terrance Mathis last year were receivers who had the ability to stretch a defense and were ASKED to stretch a defense...Dyson has that potential, he's still learning in the NFL, while Thigpen is a decent possession receiver but it stops there. [That statement is nothing short of inane. I'm just going to let it stand in its own glory.] Again, what WAS I thinking. McNair earned the nickname Air McNair for his...oh my God...PASSING...in college... "Only player in NCAA history to gain over 16,000 yards (16,823) in total offense during his college career...Set collegiate record by averaging 400.55 yards in total offense per game...Became only the third player in Division I-AA to throw for 100 TDs in a career (119)...Owns every Alcorn State game, season and career passing and total offense record...Finished with 928 completions in 1,673 attempts (55.5%) for 14,496 yards passing with 119 TDs and 58 INTs...Added 2,327 yards and 33 TDs on 375 rushing attempts (6.2 avg.)...Unanimous All-America choice." As for their game plan, I always thought that different coaches used different styles of play. Minnesota and St. Louis, um, play a little different offensive schemes than Tampa Bay and Tennesee last time I saw. I'd say that a team that plays dink and dunk (like Ten) will have a qb with a lot less numbers to put up. Well...enough of that. I'm done with the topic, although I'd guess you will have more to add...
