I think Alex is a very good QB. But I'll be the first one to call him out if I believe he could have made a better play.
In a blitz, there's not a lot of time to react. You have to react immediately. He chose to lock on the WR and hold onto the ball rather than avoid the blitz by either checking down or tossing it away. I think that was a bad choice.
Of course, if he hadn't run right into the defender avoiding the blitz he would have looked like a hero for salvaging a broken play...but that didn't happen and here we are.
