He didn't do anything spectacular or awful. The pick was not good obviously but whatever. He made up for it in the 4th qtr. He made some plays when he looked like he was dead in the water (see the shovel passes etc). I thought he did ok.
He is still better than he was in 2006 as far as getting rid of the ball etc. I didn't see too much hesitation or locking on to one guy etc.
Honestly the biggest problem is the offense is never allowed to get in any kind of rhythm. When we begin to then the play calling and philosophy suddenly changes. Alex clearly is not successful we spread things out. This is definite. We are not getting sht out of him if we just play a I formation 2 back set then pass on 3rd and long. Alex just isn't that QB. Never was never will be. Spread it out. Play out of the shot gun more and keep a good mix of run and pass. If you wanna bunch everyone up for a PA pass that's cool. Bottom line is Alex is NOT a "traditional offense" kinda guy.
A-f**king-Greed. f**k PASSING OUT OF THE IFORM. JEESUS CHRIST
I posted in another thread that the whole O looks better from the spread look. Alex is a different QB, Gore gets more yards, and even the receivers seem to get separation. Whenever we go with the gun, we tend to have success moving the ball. When we go to Raye's bread and butter offset I with Morgan in motion run on 1st and 2nd, lo and behold, we suck.
