He looks good in preseason because nobody game plans in preseason.

Plus he’s a running quarterback who is incredibly brittle. Dude is always hurt.

He’s just not a good player. It sucks that we wasted the 4th pick on him but he is what he is at this point.

Those are his current stats from a time that the organization that drafted him admitted that he shouldn't have been playing. The short passing game and ball placement were the two things about AR that I thought showed the most improvement in the preseason game. He's also 24, we've seen several recent cases of QBs who have developed into quality starters in their late 20s. You can give up on AR if you'd like, I just hope the organization doesn't.
