First off, it’s not his rookie year that you are speaking of. It was his second year... and solid in what sense? If you are strictly basing your opinion on stats…. (3284 yards and 17 TD's) then yeah. If that’s the case then you need to look at the entire body of work rather than just the surface. You are disregarding the fact that he attempted 526 passes! That's what happens when you play on a team that is always playing from behind. That is an average of about 33 passes a game.... I don't care who you are... if you get that many attempts a game you had better get at least that many yards. Also 17 TD's and 16 INT's is not "good" in any sense of the word. Sure he was a 2nd year guy and deserves a chance to grow... but then the problem becomes that he followed it up with a year in which every major statistical category dropped from the year before. Not to mention the fact that he was benched for Flutie who is by now a longtime member of the AARP.
His only crutch has been the fact that he has the best RB in football. 25% of his completions that year were to Tomlinson... little dumps in the flats that a five-dollar whore could complete!
I understand that he is not in a QB friendly offense…. but I am not basing my opinion on stats.... it is based on watching the guy play. He has a weak arm, makes unjustifiable mistakes, and has shown no sign of leadership. Being a star as a Boilermaker in the Big 10 doesn't equate to being a solid NFL QB.
The guy blows and should hold a clip board most of his career. Just watch!
