"He honestly looks very similar to last year, not significantly better or worse. He reportedly worked a lot on his footwork during the offseason, which should result in more accuracy and consistency on his passes, though he looked pretty accurate last year and I can't say I see too much difference. He also added some muscle and I do think I see a bit more zip on his throws."
"According to PFF, his biggest weakness is making plays when moving to the left or backward, as he's more likely to take a sack in that situation. I suspect that means he needs to be better at having awareness of pressure (particularly up the middle) and throwing the ball away before taking a sack. He relies a lot on scrambling when under pressure, but it's harder to scramble away from pressure up the gut."
The quarterback missed weeks 3 and 4 due to injury, creating a small sample size early in the season. Early performances showed rust with low QBRs in initial weeks, followed by significant rebounds in later weeks. Offseason work targeted footwork and added muscle, producing slightly more zip on throws and expected consistency gains. Statistical and film analysis highlights a weakness when moving left or backward, where sacks increase. The quarterback often relies on scrambling under pressure, which is less effective against interior pressure. Coaching appears similar to last year with continued player buy-in alongside recurring mistakes.
