(10-13-2015, 10:36 AM)WhoDeyWho Wrote: "New"? When did it become "new" for a young QB to gain more confidence the more experience they get? I just find the modifiers "New", "Good", "Bad", etc. sort of patronizing. To me the dude is simply a young QB coming into his own. No different than the career trajectories of other QBs in the league.
Except that different QBs have had different career paths throughout the years, and it was absolutely impossible to directly say that Andy would 100% perform like he is in 2015.
That's why people say stuff like "new Andy". We know he isn't an entirely new being, he's just playing very differently in many ways this year. I don't think it's an insult but you seem to be taking it that way. His decision making, pocket awareness, and his accuracy on every throw in the book are all so much better in 2015 than in the past. He has never looked this good consistently, and it's not insulting to bring that up.
