To answer the initial question. Will he figure it out and be our franchise QB with Doug Pederson? Right now after five games? The answer is a yes for me. However, just because I think you're the guy right now doesn't mean you're really anything special.

My expectations are dialed back with him now after the last two weeks. So far he's not really taking complete control of the game, he's still wildly inaccurate at times, he's still failing miserably to get this team off to a fast start as I think this is the fifth straight week in a row now where he's yet to lead this offense to a TD on their first offensive possession.

The interceptions in the red zone are just unforgivable for me. At any level in this sport. You cannot [BLEEP] do that guys. I am sorry. Protecting the football is basic level stuff that gets preached at all levels of the sport. When you're in one possession games there's no reason or excuse to make those mistakes. The pass is either there or it's not. He killed us in Philadelphia with the same mistake and he killed us yesterday with the same exact mistake, just much worse because it was in the actual end zone.

This is why I keep referring to him as Sunshine Brett Favre. Because that's how he's playing right now. It's frustrating. One week he's streaky good and then the next he's streaky bad and then good BUT...manages to [BLEEP] up in the most crucial situations of the game that change the ultimate outcome. Classic Favre. The bullet and laser passes too. He still has a long way to go.

He's not Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers though. He's more along the lines of being in between Alex Smith & Matt Ryan for me at the moment.
