Think we lost our deep threat?

With McVay's ability to create deception with all the pre snap motion and stuff, I gotta think all 3 receivers are capable of making plays down the field. And Stafford isn't shy about taking shots deep.

I completely agree but would not expect a receiver that just made a really big play, and expended a ton of energy to take-on an unnecessary hit for a couple extra yards. Factor in his lack of size, age and recent-injury-history, I was OK with Jackson going out-of-bounds. He did exactly what the #4-WR / deep-threat was supposed to do.

Also, that was a huge play in that game. it was the third quarter, and the Rams were trailing.

I agree. Particularly given his injury history -- no need to be a hero for four extra yards. If it were for a first down or he was near the goal line, that would be different, but that wasn't the case.
