In 2010, when he was throwing to Seyi Ajirotutu and Kelley Washington, he was STILL a beast. He was actually an elite quarterback then. Elite quarterbacks can make scrub receivers look good.
His decline started when he started checking down more, throwing deep less, and panicking under pressure - in other words, once he started playing like Alice Smiff.
