It's not just the deep ball, but the ability to take short and intermediate throws the distance.  He gets the S's out of the box so you can run the ball easier.  He keeps your offense on schedule, because he's going to get a minimum 5 yards on "check with me" screens when they don't double him and the CB has to give up a 10 yard cushion.  You can get the ball in his hands with reverses and jet sweeps.

Besides all that, you've got the guy for a minimum of 5 years.  You can fix the OL next year if the kids don't step up.
