He is a game manager. What he did in the game is the best we can hope for. It is up to the defense and running game to get him victories. Because if not he will huard the bed.
But he is not the main reason for the loss today just a part.

I didn't see that. I thought they let him do a lot more mid-range stuff today. It wasn't dominated by the screen game as it usually is. Take away the last drive and as a whole, it was a very solid performance where I thought he was less handcuffed than he's ever been.
Your point about him making big throws when the game mattered is definitely relevant. Part of that is to blame on Albert on the 3rd and 2, but my guess is that most big-time QBs easily make that throw even if they're going to get clocked.
