Hope. People hope that EJ is a franchise QB. The reasons are many, maybe it's coaching, maybe it's things finally clicking for him, but, it is hope. There's nothing wrong with hope, it gets us through tough times in our lives, it makes us get back up every time we're knocked down. Nobody, IMO, flat out believes that EJ is a franchise QB unless your standard for that phrase is a QB who has started games at QB for a franchise.
