I think that was the case at one time, but definitely NOT this past season. Smith threw the ball deep downfield on many occasions this year. The Cpt Checkdown is circa 2010-2015. Your Skins had the 6th highest number of turnovers this past season and that number will improve. Nothing against Cousins, who the organization apparently did not like, but he will get paid big somewhere. Cousins will throw for more yards, but passing yardage is the most overrated stat in the NFL.
