"This team has the capability to have a vertical passing attack, but we have a QB that can't accurately make those throws, and we do have a QB that can"

While that is true -- we also have a QB that, when the pocket fails, can get out and make something happen -- and, a QB who not good at escaping the rush and will likely take a sack -- so, which one do you want?

He's also been leaving the pocket early and missing open receivers all season long

We’ve seen marked improvement with this in the last couple of games. He ran a total of six times against Stanford. He seems to be executing the rpo in a way we all expected when he was recruited. He still needs to improve his field vision and progression, but we’re seeing marked improvement. We need to see this against a good defense that pressures the pocket more than Stanford to gauge if this improvement and him being on the same page as Denbrock is real or fools gold.
