I admit I sometimes have Bad-Andyphobia whenever he throws an interception. In the past he has not been able to come back from that and the rest of the game was a nightmare to watch. Not this year. I like the way the article pointed this out as well. I still think he relies too much on AJ as a fail safe or automatic go to guy. There were times when he broke the huddle he knew where he was going regardless of the coverage. In past years he didn't pan the field as much as he does now. He changes plays, reads the defense well and is 10X better than last year. He will continue to get better than he is now. That's an awesome thing!

I'd argue that in the past, AJ was Andy's only reliable target. Andy did a fine job of spreading the ball around in 2013 (6 different players had 400+ yards receiving), but last year there were so many injuries that "forcing it to AJ" was probably a better option than the alternatives.
