One of these days, he will throw deep multiple times and get 300 yards. I remember when it was said that he doesn't have big numbers because of his low attempts.
Is he still considered efficient at 59% while throwing 3 INT's to 7 TD's?
Depends on who ya ask, really. I think the reasons for the offense only 14th in efficiency are mostly not on him. (shocker, huh?)
Take the 1st KC drive vs the Titans... They drive to midfield.. get stuck in 3rd and 15 after their 2nd offensive penalty already in the game... Alex converts the 1st to McCluster... but wait... it's coming back. Refs flagged Avery for starting to block his CB too soon. WTF? So... back further they go. Lots and lots of drive-killing penalties have forced KC to punt. It's frustrating.. but you just know that if they can minimize these silly mistakes? They really can churn out the drives for points. Great things for them, their D has been so stout that this offense has only had to produce clutch drives when it is mostly needed.. and they have.
