if Book had played last year I think we would have seen those glimpses of special that make your eyes light up, but I think would have also had a lot of lows. He was more accurate even then, that was apparent but he also was real bad at staring down receivers and putting balls in bad spots. If you go back and watch he had numerous balls that 'should' have been intercepted but defenders dropped them or out WRs made good defensive plays to knock them down.
Bottom line, he was lucky he didn't have a lot of ints in his limited time last year and I think if he had been the starter that luck would have run out and the ints would have piled up...BUT he is clearly the guy now and doesn't seem to be looking receivers down and is being smarter with where he puts the ball. Add to that his accuracy and quick decisions and quick release and poise are on another level and there is just no longer a reason to be talking about this any more...he IS our #1 QB, period.
