Lot's of 3rd and longs and lots of long fields.

His pocket awareness seemed ok Sunday, albeit a small sampling to judge by. Not a lot to say about his accuracy, again small sampling to go by. How he handles a day of blitzes every other play? Don't know, that is what we need to find out. Again, Brady and Purdy had a lot of negatives around them as well which lead to their draft positioning. I'm all for seeing what he has with the entire offensive playbook open to him. He has been in the system long enough that it shouldn't be scaled back for him. He either has it, or he don't and we are back to square one. I mind you, square one sucks at the moment!
