Man this guy got slammed so bad around here two years ago it wasn't even funny. He still has a lot to prove as a number 1 pick but he's definitely coming around. The end of last season he started to make plays but this year he looks quite a bit better than he did last year...
I am amazed watching him drop back in the pocket, look off receivers, and fire perfect passes to the receivers. All the talk this offseason was how Smith and the offense would suffer without Norv but Alex has looked better this preseason than I have ever seen him look.
Some of the passes he is making I didn't think he would ever be able to make. He really looks incredible. I hope it translates to the regular season. No reason to think why it wouldn't.
The TD the other night was beautiful. He stared the safety off to DJAX's side then came back and threw a perfect pass to D Walker where only he could catch it.
His best pass so far though was to Arnaz Battle down to the 1 in the first game. That pass was just perfect in every way.
I predicted several months ago that he would throw for around 3500 yards and 25 TD's this year. He sure is looking like it so far.
