re: mettsiah are we looking at this wrong

There are certainly a lot of factors. The raw talent is absolutely there. Zach has to continue to improve... reads, progressions, controlling the line of scrimmage. The coaches have to make sure they're doing the things they need to do to help him get better. And, as you mentioned it, there needs to be some chances taken downfield.

This team is built a lot like those early 90s Cowboys teams. Downhill, possession running attack, but with a quarterback and receivers who can stretch the field enough to keep that 8th man out of the box.
