I'd rather have him "test the water" now, than be afraid to let the ball go and have to goad him into attempting certain throws, ala Maker Bayfield. 

No riskit, no biskit. In the coming years, he will start to cut down on the INTs but continue to put the ball in tight windows, throw lots of TDs and piss the hell out of opposing fans as he dissects their favorite team. 

I hear ya.  What is interesting is that I was in this mindset in 2020 and I thought people who were expecting him to throw 30+ TDs with 10 or less INTs as a rookie on a bad team were really setting themselves up for disappointment, but he kept the INTs under control.

Going into this season I figured I could scale back how much I'd have to excuse his INTs and he's throwing them at an increased rate.  It's early, but it's also all sorts of backwards.  Wacky. Add in that his TD to INT ratio and INT rate are getting worse as the season progresses and it's a bit of a puzzler.
