If we remember last year, when Brock became the starter, he had some plays where he was making guys missed, going out of the pocket, completing off schedule passes. If he was still doing some of that, the media would be all over him as MVPish. But to his credit, he improved his proficiency in the offense, right read, accurate, on time, in stride, so his receivers can YAC. He doesn't have to do much of those squirrely off schedule plays. Media be like-- meh, system qb. Where's the wow highlights...all we got from this kid is him throwing the ball to his receivers, and they run for a TD Borrrinnng..
If he was a top 5 pick, the media would be crowning him Hall of Fame worthy. Even Nick Wright would be on his knees.
You're right. It always goes back to where he was drafted. People can't wrap their minds around the last pick of the draft qb, can be this good, so quickly. Surely he's gonna turn into a pumpkin and proved them right to be skeptical.
it will slowly change no point harping over it
Before it was he was lucky at the very least people acknowledge he's good they just say he is benefiting a lot from YAC which the stats don't even back up. I think a lot of it is because so many people watched this game and the plan was to attack the middle of the field with quick throws then throw deep.
But you right ultimately it stems from his draft position
