I understand completely what you are saying Barrett. You are right to be skeptical of TJ. However, I just can't share your sentiment because the guy has not been given a fair shot.
As has been mentioned over and over again, our receiving core sucks. On top of that he has had lttle time to prepare. He was thrown into this job and asked to learn an offense that took Shaub 4 years.
Maybe I just like to look for potential, but I saw some good things from this guy. When he gets the chance he throws a better deep ball than Shaub and he is more athletic than Shaub. He is still learning. Just like Shaub was doing. The only bad thing I have seen from TJ is his tendency to throw the medium pass high at times.
Concerning the playaction pass, most of the time the deep guy (Jacoby) is not even looking for the ball.
Overall, I am not going to say a guy sucks after 4 games, minimal practice reps, and no training camp.
One final note, its not like Shaub has been the most accurate QB. He has been known on multiple occasions to make the dumb ass pass.
