Well... it isn't like Hunt completes many more passes.

I see it like this - when Hunt misses, he misses by a lot. When Long misses, it isn't quite as far off. Plus, a lot of the balls Hunt completes are bad balls. Every slant he hits is a wobbler. Long seems to have a bit better touch throwing to where guys are. Hunt's just not good throwing unless the target is stationary. I think with Long the receivers are able to run an actual route instead of breaking everything off and sitting down. Even on the short stuff to the outside Long's catching them in motion. Long has thrown more interceptions, but it's not like Hunt's a low turnover player either.

So, whither Long goeth, so goeth Ottoingrotto. I know we sacrifice some running ability. I honestly don't care though. I'd rather have a QB that can take advantage when a running lane is there, than a QB that the defense stacks the box against that can't take advantage of what that means on the outside and down field.
