Folks who get hung up on 2 quarters of decent QBing, but not taking any of the rest of the season into account is just a wild way to extrapolate conclusions.
I’ve been quite critical and thought he should have been pulled before the touchdown drive. But I’m being realistic and acknowledge there was improvement.
People were critical of bailing out of the pocket and “not seeing all these wide open wide receivers down the field” after Purdue and that straight up didn’t happen Saturday.
But no matter what he does, it won’t be good enough for some people because their mind is made up. Whereas, I’m still in wait and see mode with this weekend probably being my determining factor.
Also, rushing yards do count specifically forcing the defense to always account for the QB, which opens up your talented running backs more. Just because it doesn’t look the exact way you want it to, doesn’t mean it can’t be *effective.
*this is the offense as a whole, specifically play calling to strengths and actual executions. There’s still way too little PA for a team that runs the ball as much as we do.
