AGAIN this is the NFL you wont have wide open WR's on each play,you have to hit the windows as they open.

A ten yard cushion is meaningless when he's 20 yards down the field.
If he's even five yards
behind the safety, then he's "wide" open by NFL standards. Having a safety standing right over him at the first down marker does not give any possible way to complete a pass, unless it's an option route which this very clearly was not.
Also, this wasn't even a read play. At all. Campbell's job on the play was just to throw Moss the ball. Using this clip against as an argument against a QB is a fundamental misuderstanding of NFL offense, and is a waste of my time.
You should know this already, because it's common sense, but the fact that you do not shows me why you thought Wilcots made a good argument in the first place.
