Has a better weekly QBR than Allen, Mahomes, Brady, Lamar, Rodgers, Wilson (bc people think he's amazing apparently) and a higher weekly QB Rating than Ryan, Hurts, Mahomes, Lamar, Brady, Rodgers. He ranks as the 6th best QB this week in terms of QBR and Rating.

But he sucks because we only took one deep shot and it was incomplete.

My god, what do you guys want? He's not going to throw for 300+ yards and 3+ TDs every week

The run game and the deep ball threat are highly correlated. The defense typically can focus on stopping one or the other. Without a deep ball threat, the defense can stack the box and make it tough sledding for the running backs.

We had some success initially on the ground. That should have opened up the passing game. That's probably why Pedersen tried to pass after the initial success on the ground. Of course, many felt he should have kept pounding on the ground. Especially since the passing game was so pathetic that it mainly consisted of quick outs for very few yards.
