All kidding aside, I think I can state without fear of contradiction that he is unlikely to be "the guy" if "the guy" must be the equal of or impovement over Brady, Ever. (We can still dream).
He is very likely to be the guy, sooner or later, as measured against what Cam Newton could do in our system. And mind you, it is still possible that in other systems he might come back. But he was a terrible fit here.
There's a lotttttt of room between those yardsticks. But to answer directly, yes, he looks like a good NFL QB in the making,, emphasis on "in the making."
It's a dumb question after 3 games in a rookie year.
I didn't get to see this game. One downside of the Pats not being the focus of the NFL is I don't get to see many games. I do see his stat lines, what people are chattering about, etc. It sounds like he had poor protection, and threw his first interceptions. He somehow racked up a fair amount of yardage in a losing effort, in the third game of his career.
It's most likely, to my way of thinking, that he's the real deal and does belong as a first-team, NFL QB. I had hoped we would get that without a year (or more) of yuck, and I still hope that. In fact, I envision a bright future. Truth is, we have very little NFL level data. Might be worth collecting a little before calling the data "in"
