I'm with Megatron here that the qb really really didn't do any favors. Caleb holds onto the ball way too long. I know there are stats floating around that he's been getting rid of the ball for less than 2.5 seconds but that really doesnt pass the eye test. I don't think that counts the sacks where he holds onto the ball for an hour. Or the sheer volume of designed quick hitters.
The only passes he could complete were quick hits like wr screen. There's a reason dj Moore got a million touches a game. But anything further, he was terribly inaccurate and refused to check the ball down. For as much as he was pressured his refusal to check down is astonishing. I don't know if that's coaching or stubbornness. Or both.
