There's plenty of armchair scouts and coaches that are on twitter showing you where he also had options in those plays where he's asked to be "aggressive". 

Most play designs have a lot of variables factored in. It typically goes, deep route, bailout route, underneath route, check down route, etc. 

He missed the easy check down opportunities more than a few times in that loss. His pocket awareness has improved but he just needs to tighten up on his decision making in the red zone and he needs to be more opportunistic when the defense is giving him free real estate to pick up with his legs. 

Mostly good in a game where they only managed six points and he turned the ball over in what was obviously a soul crushing shift of momentum for the rest of the game is hilarious though. I like the kid. I want him to be successful. However, some of his zealots are a little over the top with the excuses for him. This is how spoiled little brats are created, not saying he is, it's just that, "He can do no wrong, ever, never" that pisses me off with some of the fans. 

He'll improve. He'll bounce back. Because that's what competitors do. But, for the love of God, stop sugarcoating a turd's worth of a performance. He had 47 opportunities to make plays in this game. He completed 25 of those said opportunities and none of them resulted in any TD's. 53% completion percentage. 2 INT's in total. The first one being a cardinal sin in this sport. Enough.

14% drop rate the past two games. I'll wait until that comes back to the mean before crucifying him for not taking a check down
