He's shown some improvement. He hasn't shown it consistently enough though. He's had his share of blunders this season that contributed to losses. And he still has that unnecessary hitch in his motion that telegraphs his passes and leaves the ball exposed for a potential forced fumble.  (like the one yesterday) 

I'm always rooting for him to succeed, but he'll have to produce a few more games like this most recent one before I'll feel remotely comfortable about paying that big money to keep him on next year.
I can agree with the consistency argument definitely.  I just think that with "This Staff" they are not going to let him have the type of gameplan that was ran yesterday with Fournette.  He may be able to, but we will not find out this season unfortunately.  All that does mean though, is the BB5 needs to go crowd, wont have anything to worry about.
