i would say yes, and this is coming from someone who was very critical in the beginning of the season.
since philbin called him out, whether it is a coincidence or not, his play has been much better overall. his pocket awareness is so much better, and its making a huge difference.
does he still have his flaws? sure he does, but watching the entire nfl on a weekly basis, there isnt one qb who does not miss throws or take sacks throughout games.
i deff would like to see him work on his passes beyond 20 yds. forget the 60 yd bombs to wallace downfield, but accuracy beyond 20 yds needs some improvement.
for now though, as long as he keeps his turnover rate low like he has been doing for the most part, and avoids big sacks which he has been doing for the most part, i have no problem overall with him.
also, realistically, there is no one who we can bring in better. we r not getting a top draft pick, there are no prize qbs who hit the free agent market,
the way hes playing now, the only way to criticize him is to nitpick small things that every qb does on a weekly basis. it makes no sense.
that being said, please work on the deep ball with wallace during practice, or at least try some deep throws during games, it cant hurt. its such a big weapon we have and we have not utilized it thus far.
also, i am not expecting total perfection every game, because as we all know even the elite do not play to perfection on a weekly basis, but no total crapping the bed like the final 2 games of last year again.
