6.) He rushed for more yards.

All this in a rookie year, with Matt Asiata as his main RB, and Greg Jennings and Jarius Wright as his 1/2 punch.  And he too lost his Tight End (Kyle Rudolph) for much of the season.

What's funny is that stat line you posted, which is supposed to convince us he didn't do that much yet, isn't far of from Andy Dalton's 16 game total in year 5. 3,398 for 19 and 17.  How sad is that?

#4 is incorrect.  Dalton had a better ratio.

#5 (Not to change the subject) I always found to be a stupid metric.  QB #1 can have 10 attempts, only one of which is completed, for 60 yards.  QB #2 can have 10 attempts, all completions, at exactly 6 yards.  They both have a 6 yard average per attempt.  IMO, they can't be compared without relying on other statistics to tell the story making it a little useless.  I guess that is why they created the QB rating in the first place.
