This is also his third straight year in a row now with technically a different offensive play caller. With a horrible offensive line. He has the arm talent. He just has to learn when to wear the cape and play hero out there and when to dial it back, take what the defense gives you and live to see another down.

It would help though if people did their [BLEEP] jobs and helped establish some continuity around him. We're quickly trying to turn this kid into Josh Freeman and Jason Campbell at this rate with the changes being thrown at him. Keep in mind, he just had his 50th career start last night.

He's only 24 years old. Plenty of time and plenty high of a ceiling to develop him. He'll learn. It's a hell of a lot easier to learn though when you're surrounded by consistency and competency. Shahid, Doug and Trent need to provide that going into next year with him nearing the end of his rookie contract.
