Right now he’s been bailing too soon, abandoning plays and routes, and allowing defenders to watch him which is why there are so many tipped INTs. Today he was better at staying in the pocket and surprise, no INTs.

I am not saying he can't make those throws but at least in previous seasons he didn't play in a traditional pocket. Alot of his "pocket" TD's were him drifting 10 yds + behind the OL and chucking it. Very few were him staying in a traditional pocket or stepping up. He stayed in the pocket today and it was his 2nd worst performance of the season. It isn't who he is.
Also have noticed at least last year 80% of the time down inside the 15 we ran designed roll outs very successfully. It has been a long season so far and don't know if we are doing that this year.
Maybe we should give defenses some credit and they definitely are defending him different.
