We can find plenty of bad outside passes from Jimmy too. That's the point.
I'm not criticizing Trey. I'm criticizing the notion that it was a difficult pass. That's my point
I mean it's more difficult than routes like a slant. And as someone who did in fact play QB in high school, I'd say deep out routes are one of the harder passes. (
What follows is my own personal experience, but I've seen lots of people back this up.)
It wasn't just the distance, but the risk is higher, you're having to turn your body more because the target is further away from the centerline (which increases risks of screwing up your fundamentals), the tackles tend to be standing directly in your field of vision, which can be a problem, and of course, the timing aspect. It's hard spatially to see it and feel for it, as well as the sheer distance for a throw that needs to be on a rope. Not to mention, for some of the same reasons, gauging to distance to the sideline can be somewhat problematic (in particularly if you're not the best at intuitive understanding of dept).
Maybe the only pass that is harder is the post corner, but not for me, although for me, deep out was the hardest pass for me. I wasn't a huge fan of curls either, but that was probably due to my fear of throwing into traffic. Slant and posts were easiest for me (same with corner-posts), probably because I practiced it so much, but also the benefit having multiple windows to fit them in if your timing is messed up early, and the simple fact that they're really hard for DBs to cover. Swing routes were a bit trickier than you might think. 9 routes were easier than you might think, since once you have the timing with the WR down it's kind of automatic (not so simple in the NFL due to coverage schemes and DB quality, of course).
So yeah, I would say if you don't think a deep out is difficult, you probably don't know much about quarterbacking.
