Well, he was hurt... requiring off-season surgery. The OL also completely went to hell down the stretch and the lack of RBs with CJ's injury and a rookie playing behind that line didn't help.
And, in his first 10 games - the numbers weren't bad.
195/325 for 60% - 2,396 yards with 15 TDs and 7 INTs (7-3 record)
The last 4 games, he had just over 1,000 yards with 3 TDs and 3 INTs... and went 1-3 @ TEN, vs NEP, @ KC and vs OAK. So, yeah ... he was beat up and playing 4 tough games, 3 of which were playoff teams and one being the ultimate SB winner.
Might explain some of the regression.
Extrapolate the production from the first 10 over 16 and he has 3800 yds, 24 TDs and 11 INTs. I'll take that in 2017.
