I think you are overthinking this dynamic.

They opened up the passing game against Indy because Indy has the 31st ranked pass defense in the league. They let him sling it 26 times and they ran it 37 times. 

Conversely - the steelers are the number one ranked pass defense.  Blake's total of 14 attempts in that game two weeks ago should make it very obvious in which situations this staff has confidence in him.

It has nothing to do with confidence in Ivory or the other backs behind Fournette.

I just want Blake to continue hitting receivers when we need it whether he throws 14 or 26 times a game.  The point I was making, was directed at the stat complaints.  He is doing exactly what the coaches want him to do and doing it near perfect.  Whether they are comfortable or not is up to them but he is checking the boxes that he needs too.  If we bring in another Vet or rookie that cant even do that right, then what?  We will move on but at least enjoy the man playing good football while it lasts.  Judge him with the coaches trusting him with a decent team and protection for once not without.  If he's done, so be it, but don't act like he hasn't improved and done what he's been asked.
