For those that gush over the yards and TDs, kindly explain how we did worse this year and yet claim this as a positive development.
The performance from the QB position got worse in every statistical category.
For the argument that he had to learn a new offense and he got better as the season went on, not so fast. If you break the season into quarters.

Volume went up but he played arguably his best football out of the gate then got appreciably worse. If you extrapolate from his last quarter, he could say screw the 30/30 club and go right for a 40/40 club.
Winston finished the year 18th in QBR, 27th in QB Rating
