Does Jake have tunnel vision?
As anyone who reads these boards regularly knows, the popular perception is that Jake has tunnel vision where Smitty is concerned, and the reason we don’t have a good number two receiver is as much due to lack of opportunity as anything else. Smitty makes Jake, and no other receiver can ever develop until we get a new quarterback who won’t just toss it up in the air and wait for Smith to bail him out. … So after looking at all of that, I kind of think the whole tunnel vision idea is a crock, and it belongs in the trashbin along with the whole “Jake has no arm strength” and “Jake just has good numbers because of Smitty” myths. Of course, people who hate Jake don’t care for the truth, and they’ll be talking about tunnel vision inside of a week if they think they can get away with it and it helps their argument. But at least this information is out there now.
