I agree with your assertions above, but the data set you posted doesn’t do much to support this particular thesis.
You’re seeing a lot of equally or more plausible interpretations with Kyler’s unwillingness to make deep passes that the chart also supports, because the chart doesn’t say what you want it to.
There aren’t deep passing routes in Petards offense. We have all seen this offense struggle with any play over 7 yards. Hell even when we convert a 3rd and long the preferred route is 5 yards short of the sticks hoping the wr can yac for the first.
2nd and long Petzguy chooses to run the ball and follow that up with another run. JC goes down and the dude still runs Michael Carter like he is some showcase back. It’s insane.
One of the main reasons that McBride doesn’t have a TD is because the routes he runs in this offense are short of the goal line. The best Petzguy could scheme to get McBride a TD was a pathetic failed shovel pass.
