I thought 7 was being optimistic, and that's not an insult to AM. A 9 or 10 to me is a Tommie Frazier or Turner Gill type of player performance.
Here's my thoughts:
2018: 7
2019: 5
2020: 7 (And I would be very happy about this)
While some of his stats aren't too far off from 2018 to 2019 I wonder about accuracy. It seemed, at least to me, that last year he was just off frequently where in 2018 he was more fluid and decisive. Does QBR account for accuracy? I cringed watching JD and Wandale have to make some of those acrobatic catches and then get blown up because of ball placement. Regardless of what people think about JD, he laid his body on the line for the team tons of times.
Yes, I realize the results last year were on the whole team and not just AM, and that a lot of that could have resulted in what we were seeing from him last year on top of being injured. His performance is part of the equation though and I think there were plays, especially in the latter half of the year , where he had adequate snaps and protection where he was just off on his passes or hesitated to run when parts of the field looked like they parted like the red sea.
