But he was very tentative with long passes if the receiver wasn't wide open, as demonstrated by having only 6.6 yards per attempt, lower than the likes of Brady (7.9), Brees (7.0), Manning (6.9) and Rodgers (8.4).Is he improved in that area? So far the numbers indicate not much(6.9), despite the added deep threat, but 4 games are not necessarily a statistical indication of anything. Are backshoulder throws and such a regular on your offense?Sorry if this feels like a backhanded compliment, I do question Ryan's middle and deep accuracy, but he's a very young QB, he has never had many deep threats, and there is much more to QB play than those routes, Brady has never been great at those and Brady is Brady. Ryan has an uncanny ability to make great decisions and doesn't get rattled easily.I'm just looking to a fresher, more precise take on the man.</blockquote>
