So we know JP is stubborn (which is a good thing at times) and we know he lacks experience. Throughout the course of a game, every team has a few plays where the pass protection breaks down or the defense sniffs it out. Will JP have the discipline to throw the ball away or take a sack, or will he lose yards and/or create a turnover by trying to force something to happen.
I'm trying to keep my expectations for JP reasonable- he will make some rookie mistakes, but that doesn't bother me. This team was good enough to win 9 games despite Bledsoe's mental breakdowns last year, so a missed pass or down-the-field INT from JP on occasion shouldn't be problematic. My concern is 15 yard sacks and turnovers returned for touchdowns because JP is trying to force something. I don't want to accuse him of being a liability before he has a chance to really play- just wondering what everyone thinks about this.
