If there’s 3 safeties on the field playing the deep ball (hint: there will be a lot of the time) then why not take the easy money and get 6,7,10, 12 yard gains?
There’s too much talent. Players will get open.

Because you're letting the defense dictate what you do.
So there are 3 examples you made there of where it took the offense off the field. How many are there of the other way where him being aggressive and taking the kill shot scored points or stressed the defense too a breaking point?
First possession in the 2nd half of the AFCC game he did the same thing on 3rd and 2. Pretty much exactly what you're saying. How'd that play turn out?
