Zorn actually did pass downfield his 1st season and part of his second season.
He ran a very traditional WCO w/ 3, 5 and 7 step drops.
I don't believe it was possible to pass downfield with Levi Jones and an injured Stephon Heyer as bookends and Zorn rightly made the correct adjustements. (I distinctly remember the Panthers game when Campbell got tackled from behind with no blitz doing the fake on a play-action pass as the end of the 5 step and beginning of the 3 step passing offense)
And Zorn's offense found away to control the clock and convert 3rd downs and was better in the RZ don't you agree that those are important areas?
Zorn's offense isn't unlike what the Ram's offense does w/ Bradford.
