Ha, for a second there I thought this was going to be about CBS and their game day coverage.
I've thought this as well, and specifically for this play. I do think that the game has evolved such that some plays can be designed and executed to be impossible to defend. But it takes great design and outstanding execution, including a perfectly run route and a perfectly placed ball. That is why accuracy is so important for QBs in this game. If you find one that can put it exactly where it needs to be on a consistent basis, he will be successful.
I think this is a big reason why the Pats**** have been so successful for so long. They have a QB that can put the ball exactly where it needs to be, every time, and WRs who are disciplined and precise in their route running.
