I don't know if we have a better option at QB, but the OC can definately begin to craft a plan that forces the ball down the field. Might as well do it now and see what happens. No change - the OC needs to be gone. Give the defensive responsibility to someone else, shut down the talk, game plan for downfield throws.

Wait, late in the play or late in the game?

Late in the play. 

The all22 is littered with examples of Blake not seeing the open guy. Or in this case, the guy coming open a split second later than when he decides to check down. 
Now - the O-Line play has likely instilled in Blake a bit of an anticipation of pressure that rushes his process a bit, but there are still too many instances of him not seeing the guy, not even looking at the guy, or simply choosing the wrong target. To be fair, these better options are not always the deeper receiver. In Indy for example, Blake threw into double coverage on an intermediate route while Yeldon was standing completely alone with no one near him 8 yards out, jumping up and down begging for the ball. 

You can cull through tape and find examples of this somewhat regularly with half the starting QBs in the league, but it's still a real problem for our Jags  - and Blake needs to be better with these decisions and reads if the team is to salvage any sort of pride to finish this season. Because the run game isn't going to bail the offense out this year very often - if at all.
