That is a true statement.

However, by the NFLs Gamebook we had 4 completions for more than 30 yards in week 1 alone, where Andy had 6 deep attempts in that game.  That is already more than 5 deep balls all year.  The easier way of looking at it is to look at the receiving corps YAC for the season and see that in general it is not a high percentage of the total receiving yards, i.e. they are not getting the bulk of their yards after the catch.

EDIT: We attempted 13 deep throws in week 2, again based off of the NFLs Game Book
