How do you plan on judging him this season? What do you plan on looking for in regards to improvement in his passing game?

0:05.9

This is simple. His numbers have to go up, but his numbers have to go up outside of the red zone. And this is where I'm glad I've got my laptop nearby, because I've already done the research on this. And I'm basically going to recite numbers to you about what I think is going to happen,

although now the stupid page isn't loading where I have the information. That's embarrassing.

Here's the skinny of it, John. Let's give some props to Luke Getsy. Because the number one
