When Michael Jordan and LeBron James were young they just jumped over and ran through everyone using there superior athletic ability. As they got older and wiser they were able to produce just as many points by playing smarter instead of just relying on pure physical ability. The same thing happens with great pitchers in baseball. At some point in their career they have to learn to use their heads and "pitch" instead of just trying to throw every pitch 100 MPH.
Sounds great so long as the QB and WR are on the same page. How does the QB know when the WR is going to try to make the play with his brain or with his legs? Should all receivers have a little "wiggle room" in their routes to try and get open, or should it only be allowed with the QB's most trusted receiver(s)?
