Let’s get it out of the way: it’s just one game, blah blah blah.
Two things stand out that are the most encouraging things from Sunday:
1. Improved decision-making. This has been highlighted a lot so I won’t harp on it.
2. improved mechanics.
Deuce does a great job of highlighting point number-2 a couple of times. Jameis re-made the way he throws the football. Not necessarily with his arm motion, but with his lower body.
And he maintained the new mechanics even while under heavy pressure (which, frankly, he faced a lot on Sunday. OLine needs to improve a little in that respect. And they will. GB is good).
Sunday was enormous because it was a lot of positive reinforcement about the changes he’s made and the work he’s put in.
Of course, there’s always the concern that he could revert back to some of the old habits. But the more positive results he sees, the more likely he is to stick to the new habits in the face of adversity. Once that is committed to muscle memory, he could really be great.
Anyway, long post and even longer film study here. But a lot to feel good about after game 1. Hopefully we see more of it moving forward.
