Tight Ends are incredibly easy to throw to. You can just send them on streak routes all day and time your passes well. Greg Olsen averages like 19 YPC. It's partially because the linebackers tend to drift outside, leaving a window on pretty much every pass play to the Tight End. Even in man coverage, my TE loses linebackers easily. And if the LBs are blitzing, it's really easy to just gun it to the Tight End before the safety has a chance to react and you have an easy 5 - 8 yard pass.
