short passes. Jake is erratic, so he doesn’t have a high enough completion rate for those types of passes to move the offense consistently. You need longer completions, plus, like you point out, it doesn’t solve the TO problem because the erratic throws continue. You are also correct that picks on the short passes are often more problematic than a pick on a deep ball.
53% completion rate where YPA ends up around 5 just ends up with us unable to move the ball. That’s on ARod though, not Jake.
