I think it's funny that @Deus Irae starts and argument about what a Deep Threat is and still hasn't actually defined it despite being asked by several people.. But that is Deus.. He can't be bothered once he thinks he's got a "win".
I thought that's what he was doing here.
I remember having arguments about this years ago, though I don't remember who with...
Any eligible player can threaten deep on any play. I generally break the field down into 9 zones
Inside 10 yards left/Inside 10 yards middle/Inside 10 yards right
11-20 as above
21+ as above
If you want to find the guys that are truly the best deep threats, find the guys who force teams to game plan them, specifically, even at 21+, and who still make the big plays downfield. When we do that, we're looking at guys like Dez Bryant, DeSean Jackson and Julio Jones, not guys like Hogan or Edelman.
