We'll see how that trend plays out in his sophomore season...

Well yeah, that would make sense. And it's probably par for the course for all rookie QBs, isn't it? Or, hasn't it, I guess.
My point was simply he's not throwing multiple INTs per game anymore, and he is throwing downfield significantly more, which involves more risk, yes?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's going to be a top-tier QB any time soon. Just saying, he's progressing in a positive direction under Payton's tutelage. And right now, he's statistically one of the best rookie QBs at this point, if not the best.
Of course, they could all fall off a cliff in 2025. We'll just have to wait and see.
