Consider the following, when looking at his statistics:

-He's a rookie (with no offseason activites, nor a preseason).
-He plays behind one of the worst OL's in the league.
-His running back his averaging 3.6 yards a carry. (2nd to last out of top 50/See previous point about OL)
-We lack a true #1 receiver/downfield threat (AJ = Ancient Larry Fitz at this point in his career)
-He has a bottom of the barrel TE, who we do not use in the offense.
-Zach Taylor is his OC (This offense has no identity, playcalling is all over the place, maybe the worst coach I've ever seen in the Red Zone)

No QB is set up for any real success with this OL and this loser of a head coach/OC.

I agree 100%, I also think under the circumstances he is off to a good start.

I still think as he gets smarter (checks in and out of plays based on how defense lines up), he will get better results.

As far as previous poster, every QB deals with drops and every QB benefits by great catches too. The Doyle TD grab was off the charts and cost us a win possibly. Players need to make great plays too, but they like the QB who misses throws or throws into coverage making mistakes, they are all human.
