But if you take the running option away from him, he will not be successful. He CANNOT be successful if that is taken away from him.

This was ARs first full career game with a passer rating over 100 (he was running 116 in the PIT game before injury where he was 3 of 4 for 71 yards).
This was ARs first full career game with over a 65% completion rating (66.67%, 20 of 30).
This was ARs second full career game with zero interceptions (earlier this year against MIA).
This was ARs first career game over 225 yards passing (272 yards).
This was ARs third LOWEST full game rushing yard total in his career (32 yards; 24 yards against both CHI and PIT earlier this year).
This was ARs second LOWEST full game average yards per rush stats in his career (3.2 ypc; 3.0 ypc vs CHI earlier this year).
Overall, probably the best game AR has delivered in his young career. This is what we were hoping to get out of him to grow on.
