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.

Literally, he doesn't. He simply knows routes and where guys will be, same as any high school level QB. So he ends up dropping back, waiting 3+ seconds to give someone time to find a hole in a zone and then throws the ball, or moves around in the pocket.
He's quite obviously not nearly smart enough to read a defense or throw to 'the right guy', based off presnap read. He's the epitome of a dumb jock who gets by on athletic ability alone.
You'll never win anything with him. Ever.
