He posts Tannehill-esque numbers.

The volume that Pederson has given him he should do way better than posting 200 yards games with two thrown TDs. That's simply not enough.

You're a casual fan then. He was money in both games. I'll take that QB play 99.9% of the time and look for those exceedingly high pressure expectations and bigger plays in the play-off's. That's a whole new ball game and conversation though. 

Baby steps. Saying that those two games weren't really impressive in comparison to what we saw last year is just trolling at this point. I'll agree that the volume is relatively high. However, for perspective sake? Again, he barely averaged 25 passing attempts per game at Clemson and there's a lot to be said when you look at how well he actually plays outside of the pocket. 

That's what gives me more hope with him down the stretch. His pocket presence needs to improve, especially when given a clean pocket, the accuracy has to get better, especially on the deep pass attempts. However, when he's able to do what he did at Clemson, moving in and out of the pocket, the fakes, the rollouts, the bootlegs, etc. 

That's where the kid shines. It's growing pains. But, back to the comment you made. You're just an [BLEEP] at this point man. Sorry. Not sorry. Call a spade a spade when you see it. If you don't think playing efficient football is impressive at this level you're just an [BLEEP].

It sounds like you are saying week 2 was amazing as compared to last year. Sure, but last year he wasn't very good.

He played well in week 2, but it wasn't an amazing performance. It was the kind of performance that made you think he was turning the corner. And then he did in week 3. But then he followed it up with two [bleep] weeks.
