I think that's the question everybody's asking, and I think even people in the organization have to be asking that question.

Because the bottom line is, something from point A to point B short-circuits when he's on the field.

Because there are moments when you look at him and you go, okay, here he goes.

And then there are moments you look at him and you go, oh my God, what did he just do?

And so...

Because, like I said last week, he puts the work in, he knows the playbook, he knows the calls, and yet we see this glazed look at times when the play's coming in and he's getting the mechanics of it going and he gets to the line of scrimmage and then he starts feeling phantom pressure at times, even when it's not there and he's getting out and he's moving and he's not getting to the second read.

And then there are moments when he goes, like on Sunday, when he had nothing.

And he played, after the interception, he played good football.

Was it great football?

No, but it was good, fundamental, sound football.

And so is he ever going to be the guy they thought he was going to be when they picked him first overall?

Probably not.

Probably not.

Is he ever going to be awful?

Probably not.

So I think he's going to be somewhere in between, and then you've got to hope he pushes more toward the top than rather to the bottom.

I think that's what you got with him.

And I go back to what I said a couple weeks ago about how in the moments when you don't expect him to be that guy coming, you know what I mean, when they're behind and he does have the pressure of it, he seems to play better.

You know, he's done that in his career.

When he takes the field and you're in a big game and it's all rigid to start the game, he just doesn't seem like, you know what I mean, he doesn't seem like he responds to that better.
