But I think he needs another jump to be considered in the top tier.

His last 6 games weren’t that great.

They weren't?

Counting playoffs:

11 Total TDs, 7 INTS (not great here but LAC skews this a lot)
1416 Yards (236/game)
65.5% comp
5-1 Record

And was pulled halfway through a game we won 31-3 which we ran all over them so his passing stats were garbage that game aside from 80% comp

I'm pumping the brakes just a bit. The record the last half of the season was much better as I more or less predicted going into the year. Getting Doug's system in place and the young guys learning how to win took a few months as expected. However, the play on the field still wasn't as good as it needs to be to live up to some of the hype we're seeing. They still lost to bad teams last year and that's a concern until they show that the end of year streak wasn't a fluke. The tittians game in particular showed a team with grit, but the offense wasn't good and the defense was outright bad against a team they should've blown out. I don't think this team is bad, or even average for that matter, they are going to be good. I just think they still have a ways to go this year to be in the discussion against the Big 3. TLaw's play in those games showed growth but also head room to go up more. If Ridley is what we hope I think this conversation next offseason is legitimately about playing in the Super Bowl and then the Hype Train can leave the station for real.
