I've seen some potential for improvement in enough moments this year where if he learns to fully trust the offense and his receivers he can break out in 2023.

What kind of improvement are you referencing here?

JD has made many strides this year--in the run game, decision making, defense recognition, and even the short yardage passing game. I am not bashing him. We can win with him and he is a good quarterback.

But I have not seen improvement in his downfield passing game...mentally or physically. He is either in his own head, or he cannot make the throws and lives on a leash from the coaches. Can't watch games and not see that. The hesitation is puzzling for someone with as much experience as he has. That lack of deep threat--either from the pocket or once he scrambles--is what is holding him (and us) back from taking the O to a new level.
