It seems like a long time ago, but I remember JP playing terrific in the preseason. I think if it were a competition, he would have won the job outright. Something happened between preseason and regular season though. Almost like he was TOO afraid to do anything!
I remember last years preseason as well. Granted it was against 2nd stringers, but he once went 7 of 7 or 8 of 8 in one game.
He just needs his confidence back. Confidence that if he throws an INT, he will not get yanked. Confidence that if he throws an INT, his teamates will stick with him. Something got into his head last year. Maybe it was TD's meddling. Hopefully with the wise King Solomon (MV) here, is psyche will be boosted up.
