Bill Walsh himself recognized the value of play action and 7-step drop plays and their usefulness in nabbing TDs.

Also, he WCO was born out of necessity to accomodate to his QBs' strengths way back when injury took out his original starter and he was left with noodle-armed Virgil Carter, so Zorn accomodating the offense to his QB's, JC strengths(big arm, better on longer passes than shorter ones) etc is NOT something that is 'forbbiden' in the WCO coaching tree.

Of course, going deep requires talented deep threats, of which we only had one in Santana Moss, and good pass pro. ARE(slot receiver) and James Thrash(special teamer) simply did not scare defenses enough to pull defenders away from Moss and Cooley is obviously more of a possession guy.
