He is a powerful runner and if he can become a more consistent passer and learn to read defenses better we can win a lot of those close games next season!
Alas, all his years in college and, so far, his two years in the NFL point to the probability that this will never happen.

His reading the defenses is not typically the issue. He knows he has open receivers. His issue is that his passing mechanics can be terrible and that he rarely places the ball with enough accuracy for it to be caught in stride.

The maddening thing is that he will hit one or three passes a game where he happens into perfect ball placement.....followed by three easy check down passes that the receiver has to make an incredible effort to catch by breaking stride and controrting their body in order to catch the inaccurate pass or not be able to catch it at all.

AR is not it. We will tread water for at least 2025 with all the same pieces in place and, again, finish middle of the pack.

At that point, either we blow it up or continue to limp along year after year with cosmetic changes but until we find a real QB....
