But I think that's it.

I think that if people don't want to take it from us or anybody who has opinions about the quarterback, listen to what Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson said.

Both love him.

Both know that he's the guy.

But both also know he can be better.

Yeah.

Yeah, and two things there, Mark.

We're now at a stage when you come to that, now we're at that stage where the things they're saying, we know that, we've got to work at it, those are things that you work with a quarterback and they may never get fixed.

Maybe, yeah.

Those are things that we've talked with Bears quarterback coaches and offensive coordinators and coaches about previous quarterbacks, and those are certain things that now we're at the point where –

Yeah, fundamentals, footwork, all those are red flags to me at this point.

I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but I'm saying those are things where just because you say you're going to work at it doesn't mean you're going to get better at it.

That's for any quarterback, no matter how talented you are.

On the other hand, you mentioned a couple other things that I think do give you an indication that this guy, he learns well, okay?

I wouldn't consider him an instinctive quarterback, but I think he's a little bit of an instinctive athlete.

And I think he did two things with regard to the sacks.

I think he did a much better job of kind of anticipating where pressure was coming from and kind of knowing when to avoid it.

And I also think, to me, I think he learned just how fast NFL defensive players are.

I think his first year, I think he underestimated just how – I think he thought he can get away from people that he couldn't get away from his first year.

I think that caught him – and he seemed to do a much better job of understanding that, hey, I need to move a little faster.
