Point by point.  He doesn't throw in much of the game (some weeks)  because they are intentionally mitigating his mistakes by running the ball more. Nothing shameful in that. Throwing is always more of a risk to any offense. 

When he keeps drives alive I don't call it "meh."  I give props fairly often. 
The lone scoring drive by the offense vs the bolts was a great one by Blake and by Marqise Lee. They finally looked in sync and they marched down and got 8 points. 

The drops this year have been miserably bad and Blake's stats have suffered and drives have stalled. I'm not ignoring that. 

All I'm saying is he's not consistent enough with good decision making  (and to a lesser degree his accuracy) to make me feel confident about him long term. I hope he gets it together  -- I'm just skeptical. If that make me a bad fan, so be it.

Never a bad fan, never.  I see your skepticism and your concerns and Im still wellllll we'll see with bb5.  With less drops, idk the stats, he could be slightly better but when I'm screaming pass all 1st half for most of these games and when we do we actually move the ball, im ticked.  Whether it's to limit mistakes or not it's dumb when we pass and actually start getting yards in games with better pass pro....picture that.  The line was horrid last year and the run game and now with a better line the run game improves even without l27 and wow defense improves and now dubyahs with good qb stats.  We had no hope on offense and bb5 looked horrid as most qbs would last year and now with the line close to what most have been begging for everything is on the rise even dropped catches by our WRs.  Give it time as you say but just don't say it's 90% BB5 because I think it's wayyyyyyy more to it than that.
