What can I say about JJ? Its going to be an uneven ride until he gets more reps and I've always maintained that. But you can see what he can be. He's  2-1 as a starter, both wins coming AT NFCN opponents. Go into Detroit and win? JJ and KOC have the same amount of wins playing in Detroit. He's only going to get better, that's what he does.

They just need to see more games....they'll understand in time. But unevenness aside, he's ice in the clutch. His athleticism is a weapon. And he's got the team eating out of his hand. JJ gets amped up, its why sometimes he misses a few easy throws....that will change with MORE REPS. He just needs to play more, its that simple. But look around the NFL yesterday: so many bad throws by really good QBs. Its not just JJ...its the position. But he's a special leader.

Let's see if they keep that effort and focus against Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and company this weekend
