I was encouraged by what I saw. Brown stayed in the pocket (or stepped up) most of the time rather than scrambling at the first sign of trouble. He kept his eyes downfield. When he scrambled, he was unpredictable, scrambling to the left or the right rather than predictably always to the right. He was elusive enough when he saw the rush coming. He threw into tight windows, perhaps too brazenly so, but it was nice to see.

Maybe he will learn his lesson after a few more sacks and rough hits, but for now, he seemed unafraid to take hits in the interest of waiting a few more moments to find an open receiver and pass downfield.

Our receivers, especially Mosely, didn't help him much. His 25-yard pass on 4th-and-long was right on the money - it's baffling why Mosely was so off yesterday.  Brown would have had 3-4 more completions and one fewer interception if Mosely was catching balls that hit both of his hands.

Brown needs a better sense of how little time he has. The game is moving faster than he is accustomed to. TT called Brown a "very accurate" QB in his post-game interview, which struck me as a contrast to our other QBs. I expect that we'll see more of that accuracy over time. 

But my untrained eyes saw plenty of potential...
