He was literally let down multiple times last year inside the redzone, especially by Ridley and especially by the offensive line being inadequate to pick-up a yard or two on the ground. So far, just through what we saw during the preseason, it looks like those things are trending in the right direction.

My season projections for him:

4,300+ yards passing
27+ passing TD's
275+ yards rushing
4+ rushing TD's
Completion Percentage: 66.9% - 67.3%
Combined Turnovers (INT/FUM) - Less than 15

I don't think anybody would complain with those numbers above. That's a sound season for any NFL QB over 17 games. Would honestly put him in the MVP conversation in my opinion, provided, the team is above the .500 mark and fighting for a play-off spot convincingly.

His talent has been there since day one. It's now year three in the same system, with some new faces installed, it's just time. The contract extension this off season was the vote of confidence everybody already had, just needed to see it made official.
