What if a receiver has to slow down because a pass is underthrown?

And how do you determine if a receiver is "open" on a designed "back shoulder" throw.

The Bengal receiver who "created" the greatest amount of "separation" on his routes last year was Drew Sample.

Finally, can't blame Burrows deep ball problems on Green because Boyd and Higgins were not getting any deep receptions either.

There are a lot of things at play on the lack of success of deep passes last year:  Protection, separation, being behind in most games, lack of a respectable rushing attack.  

However, the metrics on Green's ineptitude on downfield passes is the same as they evaluate every other receiver in the NFL and he was downright horrible in relation to them.  

Green was an amazing WR in most of his time here, but I thought it was an intriguing stat so I shared it.
