He would only be "new" to someone who hasn't been paying any attention at all. Granted he's added some new dimensions to his game, but it's not like he's been transformed into a guy I don't recognize. Maybe I'm just a little defensive, but it's not like the guy hasn't had a history of being belittled.
Some what?
I can't speak for everybody, but I honestly don't mean it as an insult to Andy when I say "new Andy". I'm just bringing up the fact that he looks quite different this year than he has previously. He has never, ever, ever dropped dimes like this before. His passes have been a thing of beauty and it's like his accuracy isn't affected by being on the run or pressured as it had in the past. That's not even getting into what everyone else is talking about like the intensity and pocket awareness. I've seen Andy attempt all of these throws, but I've never seen him consistently hitting all of them as if he was a future Hall of Famer like he has in 2015. He's putting every throw exactly where it needs to be, and that's insane for a QB to do it at the rate Andy has been this season.
Call him "new Andy", "Andy with new dimensions", or whatever else, I love how he's playing right now.
