No you are raising some valid points. I'm a little concerned too... not so much with his unwillingness to go down field but rather his accuracy when he does take the shots. I mean I'm not expecting him to be Drew Brees right now but he's shown improvement in every area over the last year, so I expected the same progress would come along in the deep passing game too. I said last week it was too early to worry about this type of shit... but honestly the Jets game has me reevaluating that. He missed Randy for a TD last week but this Sunday was worse imo. I counted at least 3 potential big plays where he either missed his target or checked it down instead. As you said, maybe old habits die hard but I need to see growth in this area... and I need to see it soon. Alex tends to be more comfortable throwing the ball at home so let's revisit this after the upcoming 3 game home
stand.

But yeah man I'm seeing it pretty much the same way you are.
