He's a 2nd half, garbage time QB so far through two weeks. More than half of his passing yards have come in the 4th quarter. Really, 2/3. 

1st quarter: 9/15 for 61 yards and 1 TD
2nd quarter: 12/20 for 137 yards
3rd quarter: 15/19 for 151 yards
4th quarter: 37/56 for 425 yards and 1 TD

They don't run a ton of play action. Only see him 6/10 on those plays. He's been sacked on four of those attempts. He spends a lot of time operating out of the gun, not a ton of work under center. Again, he's a rookie, nothing surprising about that. If we lose this game at home, we suck, and they deserve it.

66% completion for 349 yards and 1 TD for the first 3 quarters in his first 2 starts isn't that bad. He hasn't thrown an interception and he has played behind a horrible Oline.

I'm not saying he is lighting the world on fire by any means but we have certainly seen rookie QBs play a lot worse.

Bryce Young for example has only thrown for 299 yards, 2 TDs and 2 interceptions on 59% completion %.
