How hurt you think he really is? Nice win last night but not quite where he was with Tampa.
In his defense, he hadn't thrown a football since Sunday before a few to warmup before the game.
Then he starts the game with 10 or 11 straight completions. I keep looking for flaws in his game and so far there aren't a lot. His pocket awareness is good. He can escape the rush and run for the first down when needed. He looks over the field and goes to his 3rd or even 4th receiver when needed. He spots the open receivers downfield and puts the ball on target.
Right now there are a lot of scouts wondering how they missed so badly on this guy. I'm not saying he should have been a 1st or even a 2nd round pick but he's certainly good enough to be a 3rd rounder. His size and speed probably knocked him down but he seems to run faster than his 4.8 40 time would indicate. Maybe he didn't train for the 40 and his time is a real time vs the phony track times that some players post.
