There are INT’s and fumbles lost… I think Caleb had another fumble lost yesterday too. There are lots of ways of killing a team — another one is missing relatively easy touchdown passes — like the bomb he missed by 10 yards yesterday to a receiver who had broken free. He had another one of those last week too…. and has frequently had those all season. If he hits those, those boost morale and change the complexion of games. If he would have hit some of those we likely pick up quite a bit more wins this year.
Can’t just cherry pick one stat (int’s) and start crowing about Caleb. For instance, Jayden Daniel’s threw a pick yesterday with time running out and a defender right in his face. He was 1 second away from taking a sack. Instead of taking a sack, having to kick away (with little time left in the game)… he did not care about his INT stats… instead he tried to make a play, threw off his back foot while avoiding the sack… and got picked. I don’t mind that. It was either that or take the sack and basically turn the ball over. He took a chance — it was actually a fairly good pass — his bench warming wideout (a guy who would be on the practice squad of most teams) got bulldozed out the way by a defender/shoved him to the side like he was not even there — and picked the ball.
JD would later come back and win the game — his 3rd such come from behind win in the closing seconds. JD almost has more come from behind victories in the last seconds than Caleb has wins for this entire season. Long story short, in striving for greatness I want my guy playing loose, free and letting it rip. I want my guy going for the juggler/going for the W…. even if it bites him in the arse and causes him to throw an INT every now and then.
