I'll defer to your judgment since you've been there, done that. The average Joe fan in me sees a guy who has only thrown 9 incompletions in 2 games. I saw a QB that was far more decisive than anytime to date. Granted, I'd rather see him throw it away than bust his ass for a first down, but I thought he made cleaner, quicker decisions tonight.
My only real gripe tonight was the few times we went full Malzahn Tard and continued to hand the ball off up the middle incessantly. But to their credit, they got away from that and did some pretty innovative stuff offensively. Got Kam and Malik involved heavily in the running game.
I'm not even bitching about the lack of TD passes. LOL. I saw where somebody mentioned that. They hit SW hard with that one. I don't give a rats ass about that as long as we get down there and score.
As for his performance, don't get me wrong, you give the kid time, he will eat you alive.
And my only knock on him is the lack of performance under pressure.
I was hoping a coach would work on him keeping his head up and not panicking.(do we have a QB coach?)
He looked great tonight, unless under pressure. If he learns to keep his head up and dump a few of those off, we will break some defenses.
He throws about the best ball I have seen in a long time.
I wonder if the WRs got open because he had a lot of time to throw, or they are getting better, or if the defense was just shitty. Regardless it was damn nice to see open WRs for a change!
