Since returning from concussion, it seems CJ has been a lot better. He's been doing a great job at avoiding sacks by scrambling out of the pocket and throwing the ball away. At the start of the season he was holding on to the ball for too long at some points. He's also been throwing darts and converting well on 3rd down too. Aside from that pick against the colts (He was arguably still rusty) he's been protecting the ball well too. Hope to continue to see great play from our QB1 CJ7!

He’s apparently #1 in EPA per play since Week 8
It’s more than only since returning from his concussion. He’s put together a 7 game stretch that’s very rookie Stroud-like.
6-1
1763 yards
13 touchdowns
3 interceptions
I think the improvement I’ve noticed is throwing the ball away and not taking 10+ yard sacks.
He made some INSANE throws yesterday, and more impressively doing it without fucking up.
Pookie is SO BACK
I am impressed by the number of checkdowns he takes when there is nothing downfield. It feels minimal but keeps drives alive, which in turn keeps the defense fresher.
Post concussion CJ is a different beast
We always say he improves when we play teams that are basically fodder. Looking forward to seeing how he handles the Chargers. Then we should know where he stands as we head into the post season.
