For some of the younger posters here, check out the San Diego Charges of coach Don Coryell with QB Dan Fouts throwing bombs to John Jefferson ( who is Justin Jefferson?) and Charlie Joiner. And also the 1960's and 70's Oakland Raiders- The Mad Bombers of Daryll Lamonica, George Blanda, and Kenny Stabler and Jim Plunkett.

These teams knew what a fly pattern was and they used it a lot. All of these teams were under center, drop back I and T formation type prostyle offenses. Really the same as now except the qbs are in shotgun now.

Check out the YouTube videos. John Jefferson made a habit of catching long bombs along the sidelines.
