He just needs to string together another two or three weeks of good performances into wins and it'll quell the fire and doubt surrounding him at the moment. 

I think there's no reason to believe he can't improve. Again, he's just now coming off his 22nd career NFL regular season start. Are the expectations high? Certainly. 

I know some people on here are looking at 2022 as his true rookie year. I am not doing that. The speed of the NFL is something that you have to experience and adjust to but he was showing signs of handling this in the few wins that they had managed to pull off last year. 

He's also shown some tenacity and abilities to lead this team into a victory late. Miami game in London being the main one to look at. Where he struggles at the moment is two crucial parts of being an NFL caliber QB. He's struggling in the redzone and he's struggling with his deep ball accuracy. 

Those may very well be the last two things he develops and fine tunes as the year progresses and we may not see the fruits of that labor until the month of December unfortunately. These things happen. 

Next year is make or break for me personally with him as a fan though. Year one? Fine. Year two? Okay. Year three? Nope. No more [BLEEP] excuses. I also don't think there's anything wrong with Baalke and Pederson collaborating on a potential replacement next off season. 

Whether that's taking a chance on a developmental player later on during day three of the draft or signing a veteran doesn't really matter to me. Just as long as they're up for the challenge.

Cooper Rush, Gardner Minshew, Taylor Heinicke, Case Keenum & Jacoby Brissett are all UFA's in 2023's market. 

Will Levis, Hendon Hooker, Anthony Richardson, Cameron Ward & Phil Jurkovec are also decent QB targets from next year's class potentially to be looking at as players you can develop along slowly in 2023 / 2024.
