I think it's a little premature for this just yet. He had a bad first half & a fantastic second half.
He's still a weak passer IMO. Good QB, but weak passer.
I think if you dug into this a bit more, you might be surprised.
This is a new level of passing for him. It's there, mechanically. He's far more comfortable in the pocket this year, he's executing the offense better. His first option is no longer to scramble on passing downs, you can see that that mindset has visibly shifted for him. Teams are daring him to throw, and he's making those throws.
I've always been a big fan of his, as we all know. But this has me excited for him in a whole new way.
But also... weak passer? Sorry, gonna have to check you there. I have never heard someone who threw 37-of-43 for 442 and rushed for another 62, totalling over 500 yards of total offense and 4 throwing touchdowns on Monday Night Football - described as a "weak passer". You've got to save that for the Mitch Trubiskeys and Blake Bortles of the world, lest our describing words lose all meaning...
Jackson’s running ability opens up the defense not his passing ability. He’s improved a lot through the air but I’m not confident he’d be able to throw 400+ without his ability to run the ball. Cam Newton threw for 400+ yards too and no one is accusing him of being a good passer.
