But I am not trashing anyone who says we have the best skill players in the league.
Sometimes there are what's called no kill plays, i.e. the QB is not allowed to check out only potentially flip sides to the right box count. A lot of teams, even with vet QB's, will install these no kills to force a running game into the flow of action because QB's will get check happy. I wonder if we saw them allow him to essentially check out of any play, going so far as removing no kills from the play calling sheet. He has had full authority to choose his checks since being a rookie but I do wonder if there were still some no kill restrictions until late last year.
I know early in the year it seemed like they were forcing the run into the game more than the end of the season.
