He doesn't have the migh turnover % by accident.

But when Kirk is humming and the playcalling is on point? I dare say Kirk can look like Drew Brees (one of my favorite QBs in the league). I can tell by the playcalling that Jay/McVay have a lot faith in Kirk's ability but sometime they too are culpable in his failures by not protecting him with the run and putting too much on his shoulders via the passing game.

30, im glad to see you do see the positives with Kirk. I thought a few weeks ago you overly optimistic on RG3 and overly pessimistic on Kirk.

i 100% agree with your post. A radio talking head the other day said "its great when Kirk threads the needle on throws but sometimes he threads the needle too much". when kirk tries these "thread the needle" high risk high reward throws, sometimes a guy will be a second late or slip out of the break like grant did last week.

when kirk throws the ball before the receiver makes his break, the receiver can slip or be late to the spot, ball bounces up in the air = int.

like the TD throw crowder scored on, the ball was there in grants hands but he doesnt secure it (kinda tough catch but one that should be made) and the ball is tipped in the air, up for grabs. Fortunately crowder was there but usually that deep there are more defenders than receivers.

i really agree that they need to give kirk a run game and a lead. if all of his throws have to be perfect with anticipation, reading, timing and accuracy = ints will happen.
