The problem is that for this entire season, including in this game, they stubbornly moved away from designed runs to such a point that that brilliance wasn't at all utilized. How many RPOs did you see this game? QB keepers? Almost literally none, and that's exactly what has made him revolutionary. This is something I think they'll fold back in in year two under Monken.
Also listen, if you guys want to keep obsessing over QBs exclusively like groupies then I'm not here for it. I'll talk the game, but this weird dynamic of just meat riding two guys is a waste of my time.

But, we were also told he was a pocket passer...
