It's always a choice. Sometimes the best throw is the one you don't attempt. Guys who press and think they always need to make the play right then and there can sink teams. Ben has had moments in his career where he has suffered from this and it was a knock for a while. I think he did a solid job and I'd prefer a rookie take chances, especially on a bad team but he got greedy plenty and that is something he will balance with experience I am sure.
