Maybe "outstanding" if you're talking just being a rookie Day 3 pick who came from FCS.
But in regard to his actual performance for a starter, it was terrible for the first 1-2 months, and just ok by the end.
He's not a liability, but he's arguably the worst starter on the team when La'el Collins and Jonah Williams are healthy and performing at their normal levels.
The problem with Williams and Collins are health concerns, remainder of their contracts, and how consistent they can be at times.
Jonah has snaps of absolute brilliance but does allow a handful of sacks/pressures.
That's why when you look at things like PFF he is rated higher than some would expect - his highs and lows balance out, but most fans tend to really just notice the lows.
Yes when I say outstanding I am speaking of as a rookie coming from an FCS school and pretty much learning a new position at the NFL level. You could watch him improve through the entire season and he has a great mentality for the task at hand.
When it comes to sacks given up 2020 was his best season with only 3 sacks but that was in only just over 600 snaps. '21 was 9 given up and last season he led the league with 12, which I guess you could call a handful for sure. Be it health or whatever we wish to attribute it to that is not getting the job done...period. At risk is your franchise QB. In less than 1000 snaps last season Collins gave up 5 sacks and had his lowest grade of any season outside of '16.
I have no problem looking to replace Williams or Collins.
