True and not true. True because a QB with good vision and knowledge of a system should be able to find a WR. Not true, because a WR like Marshall would allow a Bess to be open more often. I believe a good corps of receivers that run effective routes with a QB with good vision can work. But until they prove they can pull it off, they're in trouble.
I think a lot of this is true but all comes down to the QB... I think at times last yr Moore tried to force some throws instead of taking what the defense gave him. My case and point the play I spoke of where Bess was a 3rd or 4th option... had he taken what they gave him initially... it could have been a big play!
But by the time he did come back to Bess a safety had floated over to help cover the play... You have to make throws like that! He was looking 20+ yds down field when he had a guy with room underneath for a big play. It almost looked like the reception Welker had on us... there was no one underneath to cover Bess and everyone had their backs turned.
Pennington would have made that throw... Henne prolly too! I don't condem Moore for looking for a big play down field but, you have to see that mismatch and exploit it! There were times last season where Marshall wasn't on the field and plays where there as well!
