I get the feeling we're going to see similar results to last season with an average 1st half and awesome 2nd half, although for different reasons. Last season was his 1st time starting and he had growing pains. This season I think the injuries effected his 1st half performance. I don't think it's an accident he's been much better since he's gotten healthy
Yeah, I feel like we see him settle in in the top 8-10 QBs but below the elites when it is all said and done. I've been relatively frustrated with him this year despite a good amount of big plays. Back foot throws, throwing into double coverage instead of just taking the easy play, etc.
This is where I've been at all along with him. He will have months where he's the best QB in football and months where he's hurting the team IMO. That risk-taking is just part of his make-up. His Jekyll-and-Hyde college years show the same thing. It will average out to being pretty good, and you can certainly win a title with a guy like him, but I think a lot of people got carried away by last year's 2nd half.
I would add (without bothering to look up the details) that it seems they've played a pretty tough schedule so far this year, which I think makes it hard to compare this year's first half with last year's.
