Had a chance to tie Green Bay late yesterday, and his throws were all over the place.

The aside to all of this is that Green Bay's defense might actually really stink.

He is a rookie and I dong think anyone here is saying he's as good as Brady Manning, Brees, Rivers, Rodgers, etc. At least not that I've read anyway. He's going to make rookie mistakes and a lot of them. His numbers are inflated because he's being allowed to throw so much. I get all of that but I'm not sure how anyone can deny that what he's done so far has far exceeded any expectations. Chances are that he comes back to Earth soon and doesn't even have a pro-bowl season. But for two weeks, he's been historical and done things that few quarterbacks have ever done and none have ever done in their first two NFL games.
