The most telling issue from that whole chart is that out of those twenty or twenty one starting quarterbacks from last year is that he had the worst completion percentage. And was tied for 3rd place with most INT's thrown. He's also tied for 2nd worst YPA out of that list. Even if we scaled back the volume on his overall workload for the year. How much does that help him? 

 

Bottom line, he has to make the most with his attempts. Even if we scaled him down to say 520 - 550 pass attempts for the year. How much better will his numbers really improve? He's yet to show much improvement in the accuracy department since his rookie season. He's yet to show much improvement with his reading and reacting abilities when it comes to various coverages. Just not sure he's going to look all that much more impressive in 2017. 

 

I'd be happy if he could finish the year as a 7 - 9 or 8 - 8 QB with at least 63% on his completions, and where he finishes with just North of 20 TD passes and avoids double digit INT's for the first time in his career. Just manage the game and work around the running game. Stop forcing plays that aren't there. He's not Brett Favre.
