Quote:He was so raw coming out of college, that I look at this year as almost part 2 of his rookie season. He's just trying to do too much and putting the entire game on his shoulders. It's admirable, but at the same time, you can't risk it all every play because that's not how you win. He's learning and improving, so as long as that keeps happening it'll be fine. Favre was a guy that never learned this but became a great QB regardless, so there's always that.

Agreed. He was the most raw prospect of the top qbs in the 2014 draft. He has improved leaps and bounds from where he was at this point last season.


We finally have our franchise qb. Our fan base has had to deal with miserable qb play for so long that we just don't want to accept we found the guy, and instead, nitpick the hell out of everything he does. He made some bone headed decisions yesterday, but it doesn't make me forget that he made a bunch of great plays as well. Unlike last season, the good decisions are out weighing the bad ones 2:1. He was sacked 6 times and faced unrelenting pressure all game, and he still threw for almost 400 yards. He has way too much on his plate... it'll be great to see him having a running game consistently. He has improved dramatically throwing the deep ball. He does need to work on his decision making, his pocket awareness, and his accuracy between the LOS and 20 yards downfield, but I haven't seen anything that tells me he won't.
