Interesting stat for AJ

He often (and incorrectly) gets the wrap of "check down QB". I've seen other fans point to screens, dumps, and slants to claim his high completion percentage is a propped up number. They claim he's not accurate deep. I saw this stat this morning which completely destroys that argument:
AJ completed 57.8% of passes over 15 yards in 2012. That percentage was best in the country among BCS AQ passers with 100+ attempts.

Pretty good article on this. AJ was, by a pretty wide margin, the most effective downfield passer in CFB last year. His intermediate passing still needs some work though.
ETA: It's also interesting how AJ gets the dreaded game manager label despite the fact that EJ Manuel, Geno Smith, Aaron Murray, and Landry Jones all threw a higher % of their passes behind the LOS.

I think Nuss also said AJ did something like 80% between 35-39 yard passes, or something like that.

I'm excited to see what Nuss can do with our offense this season. Got a chance to talk with him privately last summer and I think he is a class act.

I really wanna see the passing game and how explosive it can be, if CNS will let it. First play I say bomb it to Cooper to set the tone.
