True! But, what's the excuse for the other 5 seasons he's stunk at it? It makes zero sense to usethe O Line excuse when discussing Andy's skill set as a passer over his career. He's not a rookie so there are plenty of other seasons to look at in totality.
He had a crap O-Line 1 time out of 7 seasons. He has been bad at deep balls 6 out of 7 seasons - I will look for similar stats for 2015 so I will give him the benefit of the doubt on that one until I find stats and can compare. Feel free to explain the other 5 seasons where he was avg to below avg to awful. Like, say, 2014 when his completion % on passes over 31 yards ranked LAST in the NFL (see link in my previous post) even though he had a top 3 or 4 WR as a deep threat in AJ Green. The O Line was fine in 2014.
Blame 2017's offensive line for, say 2016 or 2014's dirty laundry on the deep ball doesn't work. It's illogical.
