Watching the first two games, you see the kind of composure and command he has this year akin to a guy like Big Ben. It amazes me how much his presence and feel in the pocket reminds of an NFL QB already. Now as for his arm that is a wait and see if it keeps it up as opponents get tougher but against the Cards he showed that uncanny explosive burst when there is an opening, the ability to abuse smaller defenders trying to bring him down and then the touch to hit his target on various routes and in traffic.

The first drive throw to Jackson between the closing safety/corner and the corner trying to stay with Jackson was a bigtime throw vs UConn. The touch on the two long TD throws as well were perfect. All while avoiding having happy feet or walking into pressure like TD tended to do. Finally you get the magical something out of nothing plays because of his size and speed.

Lastly- the sacks he has taken have been good sacks. The OL was beaten and his options were nearly zero. Didn't heave it for a possible pick, didn't forget to protect the ball and avoided trying to be hero on his own.
