I understand that will likely be the dynamic nearly every single week  -- I'm referring to just how many times the OC/HC feel comfortable actually trying it given Bortles accuracy inconsistencies and their desire to protect the ball. 

I like the idea of sending Lee deep from the X and Westbrook on a deep post from the Z and seeing if one of them can get behind coverage.  (RB and TE dump-offs available underneath)
What I don't like (as much)  is the proposition of Bortles identifying who to throw to and getting it there accurately. 

It's not that they won't throw downfield.  It's a matter of how many times they are really willing to roll the dice doing it. 

Ideally - those guys get open early and Blake shows enough accuracy that they trust him to keep throwing when necessary.  You'll have to pardon my skepticism though.
