Positives - What Positives You Ask?

I like this thread

Offense is looking way better with Griffin in it, obviously. I read an article on nfl.com about Davis' interview, he said that the offense is not even complete and yet we still are in top 10. Absolutely looking forward to the future. Now the trade we made with Rams is starting to look like a brilliant move.

I have to admit, I was really worried about Jackson and Wilson taking over Orakpo but now I'm not. Jackson stepped up yesterday, granted it was just one game.

Brillant? Not so sure about that.

Why not? What we gave up is definitely too much, but it was only way we could get Griffin. The move was a home run or go home, luckily for us it is a home run move.

I love the kid. But it's still way too early to say if this was a home run trade or not.

Honestly the only way this isn't is the one word which everybody wants to speak, but I shall not speak. To have a rookie qb with a qb rating of 103 after 3 games is frickin unheard of. Say what you will about the option, but he has made every throw, short, lateral, mid level, and deep. In training camp people were worried about bounce passes, or inaccurate deep balls, but his throw to Garcon in the opener was perfect, and he has had a couple other deep balls that hit the receivers in full stride. He hasn't locked on to one receiver, instead he has hit TE's, WR's, RB's.

And Finally, and this is the most important thing. He is not a finished product. What we are seeing is close to his floor. Maybe he regresses if the option safety net is pulled away, but, clearly the speed of the game is clicking for him, and in terms of hits, he's not the most hit, or least hit, and he understands the hits are a part of the game. You don't see a Blaine Gabbert fear of hits. Who knows how high his ceiling is!!!
