I don't think it's people wanting to give him a pass it's just the reality we were faced with.  For a 1st year starter he had to learn a brand new offense, and imo deal with a below average receiving corp.  We must have been seeing different things because I saw our guys getting mostly blanketed, and when they did get open an above average number of drops (hello Ashton).  I am actually surprised he was able to bounce back and have such a strong closing to the season.  Sometimes a young qb can stunt their development when they are forced to tuck it and run so many times.  What do you credit his performance the final 3 games of the season on?  I felt Estime and Cornelius getting inserted into the game plan elevated the overall talent level of the WR's.  Seemed like we had a lot more guys open during the end of the season then beginning and middle.  I'm not denying that i am sure it was a combination of things, be it McDonald improving, Hunt improving, and the wr's improving, but imo Hunt shared far less of the blame then the others when we struggling.  Looking back Hunt had a slightly better completion % as Nassib as a JUIOR, and 5% better then Nassib's SOPHMORE season (both seasons Nassib avg 6.5ypa, Hunt 6ypa).  If he is given some weapons at WR I think he can be a really good qb for us.  I know I am excited to see his development next season.
