To be clear, I am not "blaming" TL.  I can't speak for others but I am highlighting that he has significant development still to go and that development is all in game management.

He's been hindered, to be sure, by joining a shambles of a squad.  But that's they way it is and always was going to be.  If I blame anyone, I blame the QB coach.  TL needs to improve faster and better and the QB coach doesn't seem to be getting the job done.  Get us a new QB coach because that's the only variable that can change the situation quickly.  We can't change his teammates.  We can't change the game play other than to dumb it down to Clemson's offense and that isn't going to happen.  TL needs to get better at reading and leading NFL level games, and fast.

The panic, so to speak, is setting in now because he doesn't seem to picking up those game management skills.  He's shotgunning more than he did to start the season.  He's not reading defenses any better than he did at the beginning of the season.  He's not improving his blitz performance.  All those things that we expect a rookie to suck at in the begining are sucking just as hard as they did at the beginning.  We've got a star pupil who I personally reckon will be a mega-star.  But he's not improving in any meaningful way.  Time to shoot the tutor and get him a new one.
