Just wondering....how many games under 150 passing yards did Big Ben have in Year 1? I see no problem with ball-control offense (some call it boring), good D and good special teams. That formula wins Super Bowls.
The reins can be loosened for JP in Year 2, then further loosened in year 3. Thats called maturing as a QB and player. As long as JP doesn't lose the game for us and progresses from game-to-game (which, in my opinion, he has done), I'm fine with a subpar statistical day. Thats how Big Ben became good and also Brady.
