Shermer is Northbrook. Originally known as Shermerville. Shermer Rd still runs through it.

Arm talent doesn’t mean you’re a good QB right away at 22.

It’s really early.The NFL game is still moving really fast. He needs reps to settle in.

75/142, 3 TD, 5 INT

That was Josh Allen’s first 7 NFL starts.

But neither of them had close to the arm talent McCarthy has.

Smith was small, McCarron was a caretaker QB.

He has a great arm and great athleticism and lost ONE game in college. He’s a top talent.

Adjustment to the NFL is hard, especially when you miss a lot of time.

Writing a 22 year-old off after 7 starts is INSANE.

Patience. He missed all of last season to injury and half of this one. He’s a functional rookie. And he’s 22.

This is like the people who called Kai Havertz a bust halfway into his first Arsenal season.

I keep saying, he and Martinelli are going to have something to say about Eze getting minutes on the left.

Would have been the left foot/right foot/header hat trick, too.
