And don’t, forget he’s the youngest QB in the league. The consistency in throwing can be taught and fixed. Every good QB does it ...... but not all of them can figure out how to read defenses, and make good decisions. So people are going to scream about accuracy, and how it’s important, and he can’t ever do it. But there are levels to QB play, and the physical mechanics are just one part of it. But' to me, the mental part is the hardest to get and that is what separates QBs and that part looks promising.

In my rat's ass of an opinion, what makes Peyton Manning the greatest quarterback that I ever saw play was his freakish, almost inhuman ability to read defenses and make adjustments/audibles at the line of scrimmage ...... if Manning had had those Patriots teams around him when he played, I believe that he would have made it to even more Super Bowls than Tom Brady did (Brady made it to 9 Super Bowls when he was with the Patriots.) When Brady and Manning were both still in their in their prime in 2013, the Broncos easily beat the Patriots in that year's AFC Championship game, and the same probably would have happened one year earlier in 2012 if the Broncos' defensive backs had not choked and whiffed on the 70-yard TD pass with 30 seconds left to play in the Mile High Miracle divisional playoff game in Denver.
