He definitely gets a pass, but like you said, he was brutal to watch that Sunday....and we still almost won. He missed a lot of open balls last year in week 1 and said as much. I just don't understand why folks always point at the coaches, but gloss over his poor starts. I sure didn't expect him to be so off against NE. That said, it is up to the coaches to work around that until he hits his groove.

I think his slow starts are less about injury and more about a lack of tape on the opposition. His superpower is knowing what the opposition D is doing. He doesn’t know that until there’s enough tape out there.

Slow starts are something we’ll need to learn to live with. That may mean relying more on the D and the running game in September, even October.
