So as I sat down to watch the game today my hope was for Drew to play well in a close Broncos loss. Of course as the 4th quarter was playing out I couldn’t help but root for the W because that’s my squad. That said I am okay with jumping up 3 spots in the draft after today with a shot at a top 6 or 7 pick still.
A lot of people wouldn’t agree with me but today I really saw how Drew has progressed over the course of the season. He is passing my eye test right now and without a total meltdown regression next week I am on board with running it back with him. The biggest issue I had with him he seems to have cleaned up – his first read being covered so his next instinct being to bail to the right and start rolling out. I have noticed him trusting the pocket and stepping up instead of bailing right all of the time and that alone has made him look like a real NFL QB. And when that dude stays in the pocket and plants and throws he delivers some strikes! He has the arm to use the middle of the field and even the broadcast today pointed out that those intermediate in-breaking routes are his jam. I am so encouraged by his recent play from the pocket. And really in the last four games his only two interceptions (I’m not counting the final desperation passes against the Chiefs and also today) were him rolling left and making a poor decision. I’m not as concerned by that as I am happy with his new found pocket presence.
Just my opinion but anybody watching with an open mind about Drew should be able to see the development.
