I agree. He's played a lot better the last few games. Even the Atlanta game, everyone focuses on the three bad throws but if you watched the game you see him making better decisions and throws throughout. Like you said--keeping drives going on 3rd down with good throws, that's important. A lot of veterans don't do that well. I think he handles himself fine for 23 years old, I'm not worried about him at all.
From an outside perspective, he was as much of a non-factor as you can get. Good game plan, great line play and as usual, great defense. I don't even think Clemens could have fucked that up last night. Seriously.
