He's going to have his successes and his failures, in and out of crunch time. Since we have no running game, we are just going to have to deal with his shortcomings and enjoy the fruits of his progress.
One thing I'd like to see him work on is getting rid of the ball quicker rather than relying on his athleticism to extend the play. Not that being athletic and extending the play is a bad thing, but it can kill you if you run into a defensive line who can match your athleticism. If he gets good at getting the ball out quickly, hes going to be undefendable.

I would not say we have no running game as we are ranked 14th in the NFL in rushing averaging aroun 123 yards a game. Its not great but not as bad as you stated. One stat that I didi notice when looking that up is we have 8 rushing fumbles wich is almost 2 per game.
