I get it, people wanna stay objective. And yeah, one game is premature to use as a predicator for a career...
But i will say this, excellence usually shows itself pretty damn early in the process. If you don't see it early, it doesn't mean a player wont be good.
But GREAT? GREAT players usually show up on scene right away and then grow and maintain greatness from there.

Pat's first game of course was against Von Miller and co on the road in snowy conditions. Pat was forced to play with backups and still looked a million times better than Caleb did yesterday.
The thing is people got high off a few scramble plays in preseason when the sneaky issue was he failed to operate in structure in both games. Especially against the Bengals second string.
The hype he has means defenses are gonna give him serious attention and he had no clue how to deal with it yesterday. To the point where his ability to process quickly will be questioned if it continues. Because he held onto the ball way too long.
