In 2 of those games he had a passer rating over 100
In 3 of those games he had a passer rating over 90
In 4 of those games he had a passer rating over 87
In the 5th of those games he had the best playoff performance by a Bengal QB since Boomer Esiason.
If anyone has anything negative to say about a kid who has only started 4 NFL in his career, they are just looking too hard for the negative. In my book he is the best backup in the NFL and soon will be a qauality starter.
So, 4 starts is too soon to give a negative critique, but just enough to say he's the best backup in the NFL and a guy who will become a quality starter?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
