It's not the 97 yards that bothers me. It's the fact that we had to kick 5 field goals.... If we'd come away with more 7's than 3's then this game would have been even less close than it was. As an added note, it is nice to have a kicker we can count on.

I am 100% sure that if GC and Miles let JJ throw he ball 30 times last night, we would not be talking about his 97 yard game..

I could post stats and links, but take my word for it that JJ needs at least 25 attempts to get that magic number we all want which is at least 200 yards passing..

That is all.

Probably... but we don't NEED him to... just don't screw it up.

That is all

6 yards per pass attempt is not the worst stat in the world. It's not good by any means, either. You want to be in that 7-8 yards per attempt area preferably. Anything above that would be outstanding.

Hard to say how the stats would have looked had he attempted 25-30 passes. The one stat line that stands out with Jefferson is the limited number of interceptions he has had throughout his career. Normally that is a great indication of good QB play, but in this case it's a timid QB who does not feel comfortable throwing it into "tighter" spaces. Thus the indecision on his part, thus the breakdown in pass protection ultimately, yada yada yada.

We don't want him throwing interceptions, but at what cost are we achieving that result?

I agree with this.

I agree more with this.
