Jake responded well, he looked lethargic in his 1st start and somewhat "deer in the headlights" when under pressure and taking sacks when he easily had time to throw the ball away.
Then he fixed everything in one week with much quicker and decisive throws and remained much calmer under pressure. Looked like a pro QB 100% from start to finish. It's not the easiest to do and Tom Brady made a pretty good living off those quick throws, not all QB's brains can process things that quickly without making mistakes, yet Jake made that transition smoothly. Know he will never be Tom Brady but he has earned the opportunity to take center stage. If he does ok then the Bengals have a good back up QB with experience under his belt. If he is great then the Bengals will get an extra very nice draft pick out of him. If he sux then they will know to address it next season.
Don't see him being horrid and don't see him keeping the same pace either. He will fall somewhere in between and just hoping it is on the high side like last game.
Think that was the 5th or 6th best passing % game by a Bengals QB ever by the way. Gotta see the encore.
Highest completion % in a QB's 1st or 2nd start. In NFL history.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
