is this a joke? he checks off every box when it comes to the great overhyped quarterback: tall, big arm, white, and unable to throw accurately or read defenses.

people will talk about the lack of talent he had this year, and the skill position players are admittedly not great. but he makes it harder on them, because he doesn't throw with touch or timing. plus, his line gives him good enough protection -- half his sacks are him walking into them.

even if he had a great team around him, they wouldn't help his inability to get the ball out on time. holy hell he is late on nearly every throw. he can't anticipate an open receiver, and has to wait until he sees him open before he cocks the hammer. which is too late in the NFL, no matter how big of an arm you have. we’re talking fatal flaw here.

I'm not even going to get into detail about his scattered accuracy, half-dozen throws off his back foot each game, and fuck-it mentality when he goes through progressions. he’s got a hell of an arm, but that's about as useful as a fast wide receiver who can't run a route. he's a pro day quarterback, not a game day one.
