Have you watched him though? He makes a lot of bad throws. Definitely cost Miller a breakout game last weekend
Agreed on that. I was not a believer (and I am sadly a Bears fan), but he is coming on, and producing at a very high level. Could it be better, yes? Will it get better? I don't know. I will say, he does flash. When the play is there, he typically makes it, when it's down in the reads - or the play is not there, he is not very good. I remember Peyton Manning looking the same way, 26 td and 28 int his first year...and NO he is not manning, but he is good enough to produce and he has not peaked.
I also hear people talk about his accuracy. He is actually very accurate, it's just that he is not sure where the ball needs to be yet. He has the accuracy skills and a great arm, he just needs to learn where to place the ball...inside, outside, under, etc. He looks like a very talented but inexperienced rookie QB. What I don't get is people slamming him...look at your points in your league, he is on top of guys like Rodgers, Wilson, Newton, Dalton, Brees, Roethlesberger, Watson, Stafford. Does it look as good as the stats? No...and I don't expect it to until next year..he is essentially still a rookie QB in a new system with new receivers....
Perhaps the real question is: Given the "look" of when he plays, will it catch up to him and his stats trend down, or will he start making those plays and his stats get better - if they do, it's going to be crazy. So to the point of this thread, it's worth it to try and get a piece of that aka miller, robinson, gabriel, cohen, burton...... right???
