This is the moment when AJ McCarron becomes a star

When the WR is even with the safety you throw deep middle because the safety in under man is angling to sideline on a vertical route and you "pass" him.  That leaves CB and S behind.  If you throw to the corner you give the safety his angle.

Why do you think the Broncos were playing Cover2 when your own screenshots show 2-deep man under to AJ's side of the field?  CBs don't trail WRs 20 yards downfield in Cover2 unless they are playing jam+sink, and on the other side of the field the CB is up toward the line with the WR 1 on 1 with that safety.  They sure as heck don't trail the WR 40 yards downfield even on jam+sink.

He slowed up before the ball is even thrown.

And if you look at the picture, the safety has a better angle inside actually.

Right here:

So Green going to the corner actually puts him in a spot where only he can get the ball. McCarron misread it and threw it inside. It has a better chance to the corner.
