I think this ^^^ is the point of Pierce. That is what Ballard, Steichen, Jim Bob, Reggie, Richardson, and Pittman have all been trying to tell us about Alec Pierce. AP has been criticized for his limited route tree; but if the QB can get the ball all the way to him consistently, the other receivers who have better route running (but who are not stretching the field like he does) will feast.
If the AR to AP connection is a legit homerun (I love mixed metaphors) on any given snap, the opposing DCs must plan for him each week. Each play. Even if he isn't the 'best' receiver on the team. That will be the moment when the Colts become unstoppable.
Can you imagine a passing offense who's #1, #2, #3, and #4 Wide Receiver are each as dangerous as the traditional #1 receiver on any other team? #4 Receiver?! Image that because that is what you are about to see.
