Really? Despite having open receivers? even when his pocket time was limited? Or just moving the runningback to the other side, where there is not another reciever going into the flat? A safety valve as it were?
Not drifting in the pocket, taking away blocking angles for the linemen?
These are simple things, that don't rely on the skill of the other players and would get first downs, show improvement, on his part.
These are the very things, and other issues, that had him rated as a 5th round qb.

He did enough, checked out when needed, let everyone else show what they have.
But his arm is what the team needs, that pick in the endzone Johnson through was simply because he could throw it hard enough, which gave Graham time to undercut the throw.
You can win games with qbs like him and even Huntley as backups.
If Lamar goes down for 2 or 3 games, you need someone who can win 1 of 2 or 2 of 3. Neither Huntely nor Johnson can realistically do that, teams would just go man and put 8, 9 in the box to stop the run.
The Commandos did that in the 2nd quarter and even 3rd to try and slow down the run, and Rush best them with his arm enough times to back them off.
