I know the phrase has negative connotation, but he really served as a game manager yesterday - protect the ball, move the chains, spread it around to keep the D honest.

We keep doing that and the big plays will open up. Only criticism is that he needs to work on that internal clock - if you run through your reads and everyone is covered, it's ok to throw it away and reset. A few of the sacks were just coverage sacks, the only real successful pass rush play was the one where Houston beat Cam on a great swat.

Great start, and most importantly, I think the rest of the team is behind him. You couldn't say that about the last few QB we've started. It always seemed like players expected failure from the QB, it is so refreshing not to have that continuing.
