He just refuses to do it. It's like trying to give a cat a bath...

I am going to have to trust you on this Rausch, as I didn't pay a lot of attention to him before this year. What I have seen this season though, is when he does try and throw it over 10 yards, he often errors to the long side. Usually, way long and un-catchable.
I was in awe of the catch McCluster made for the TD Sunday, it was perfect, almost a miracle.
It would be nice to see him develop the tendency to hit runners in stride on the long balls, much like he does on the short passes, so the receivers don't have to "lay out" to catch the ball.
