To say the beating that Ian took, he made some nice throws too.

Guy was running for his life every play and the OL didn't give a ****.

Gotta give him a chance with actual players to help him.

I'm still amazed that 'some people' (see post #409) tried to assess Book's ability based on that game. That was a blood bath brought on by poor management and absurd covid ignorance.

Definitely wasn’t set up for success but he did as well as could be expected. Nobody can question his toughness that’s for sure.

First off, I apologize for hijacking your reply, Dude, but that's how I saw this reference to my earlier post (#409):

I did not refer to Book's ability at all in my post, especially based on that game.

I posted, "We just drafted a project QB in Book. Why draft another right away when we have one that can start (Hill) under contract, and another that is in my opinion much better that we would have a good chance of bringing back in Winston?"

I was at that game and he had no chance at times. There were times when he had someone open, but he's just a rookie and could not be expected to make that deep a read in a progression.

The point of my post was that we had Book already and there is no reason to draft yet another rookie when the one we have hasn't even been given a chance to mature into the position.
