I agree with this. I am surprised when I see so many people acting as though EJ was awful last year and will never have a chance to become a serviceable starter in the NFL. He performed very well when he wasn't injured last year and although sometimes inconsistent, most if not all rookie QB's are. He showed great leadership when called upon to deliver in games where we may have fallen apart in the recent past and seems to be a good leader in the locker room as well.
I believe we made the right pick for this team last year and I am excited to see how he progresses with the weapons and protection he is now surrounded with. If he can stay healthy, and continues to progress, I believe we may have the franchise QB we have lacked since #12 retired.
