But what you hope doesn't happen in the process is that he stops looking downfield because the opposing D kinda lulls him into a rockingchair and gets his eyes off the deep shots. When you know there's gonna be 4 guys dropping deep, it's human nature to just stop wasting your time looking for them every play. Then when they get aggressive a handful of times/gm, they catch him in the middle and he's out of the habit for looking for that shot.
If he can be a guy that can do the 1,000 papercuts without losing the constant desire to get that kill-shot, he'll just making a laughingstock of the NFL record book. He'll do something nutty like average 40 TDs/season over a 10 year period or something like that.

I do not think he can ever quit looking down field--no one is as fast as Hill. et al.
