I would have liked to see him play not trying to overcome a 10 pt deficite with 5 minutes left. This, in my opinion, makes any assessment difficult.
Also, remember he had a bum finger and was in his first game as starting QB this season, and first game active in weeks.
Maybe the guy is an awful QB? I don't think he is a QB1, but I can't call him awful after how much he tried tonight.
