I think more to the point, and something a few of us have been pointing out repeatedly, is that there are a number of very good quarterbacks on that chart with some incredibly bad starts to their careers. A few games into a rookie season does not define a quarterback, nor does it damn him to inadequacy or mediocrity. Even quarterbacks with very good defenses weren't the best starting out.
The thing to take from watching him is this: he has learned and progressed from every game he's played in. First couple of games he was criticized for overthrowing. That hasn't been a problem at all the last few. He was then criticized for being inefficient in third down conversions. Again made stark improvements after. Then he was criticized for poor play in the red zone and a failure to score touchdowns. He did much better there against New England.
He still has a lot to learn, and I'd guess he'd be the first to tell us that. But he's progressing, and doing so at a pace far better than many imagined he might.
