2 of those were on him though for holding the ball far too long. Also his throws as so many were off target or just a bit high...he almost got Begelton killed with that one throw. And that was against the worst defense in the league coming into that game.
He is a work in progress, but truth is he just isnt very good at this point. Lots to like about him for sure, and he will very likely get better as he gets more experience. But his decision making/reads and accuracy are a real concern at this time and for the next few weeks until Bo gets back.
Like I said...just tread water the next little while and come Labor day hope to be all systems go and turn it on heading into the post season.
