This has been discussed, but one of my fav moments of growth was him chewing out his teammate and holding him accountable...Some are turned off by this but I loved it. Your qb needs to not just lead by example on the field but be a vocal leader as well. This never would have happened in year 1. Stay hungry Kyler.
that moment and the huge SMILE on his face when he sees single coverage on the Nuk deep TD were things I loved. The above showed fire I hadn’t seen yet and the smile is just a pure love of the game moment.
the great ones have to love the game. It’s what drives them to ultimately be great. Last season, I was a little nervous that Kyler wasn’t one of those guys... going down too easily, not turning back inside on runs to get extra yards, sliding too early or running out of bounds a yard shy of the first. NONE of that is happening this season. He obviously put a lot of work on his body to shake off arm tackles and he’s maximizing on big runs and lowering his shoulder enough to get what he needs to get.
I’m also not worried that until last game he had been so inconsistent throwing mid-deep passes this year. Seeing the leap he’s made in his aggression and vision and speed running the ball shows me a guy who recognizes an area that can be improved on from the previous season. So I expect the same passing wise next offseason where he can really put it all together and possibly be unstoppable.
hell, maybe that happens over the second half of the season. All I know is we got a superstar in the making behind center. Only question is how high that star is going to rise.
if he’s really driven, sky’s the limit.
