Fitzpatrick should be back soon too.
Fitzy can't get back soon enough.

TH's numbers over the first 5 games mirror Fitzy's career numbers. I don't expect any different if/when he comes back

If we had coaches, maybe they could help TH improve instead of seeing him steadily decline. But none of our coaches seem to move our players to a better place.

I used to think that, but TH is having problems with basic throws, which is a problem. He's also overthinking and wants to play the hero all the time, and ends up committing dumb mistakes.

That being said, they could become more run focused, but Gibson is banged up and is starting to have a fumbling problem, JD cannot run it all the time, and their other running option is a UDFA rookie.

A good coach can fix all of that. It isn’t like TH hasn’t shown he can make good throws or good decisions. They gotta correct that. A good coach can do it. Not saying TH can become Aaron Rodgers, but they should be able to teach him or calm him down. It isn’t like he hasn’t played without mistakes before. We have seen it. It is like he is getting worse. That is on the coaches imo. Plus what u said about taking some of the pressure off him.

I actually don't remember seeing him play without mistakes. They just weren't caught by the other team.

Hyperbole or are you being serious? Because Logan Thomas came out of nowhere here, McLaurin has become a legit #1 WR, Gibson made a nice transition from college WR to NFL RB, and McKissic has been extremely productive here, just to name a few.

TH is a nice story, he's definitely shown he belongs in the NFL, just not as a starter. His lack of arm strength and inaccuracy at times are proving to be significant limitations.

There are always going to be studs that just get it. There are others who need to be taught.

ok... Do you think TH is some sort of stud being held back right now?

All the teaching in the world isn't going to give him a better arm.

He is not a 16 game starter. It is as simple as that.
