How much help should a second year starting RS JR need?

I hope he improves but it may be that mentally, he’s topped out and can’t improve any more. It probably doesn’t help this is a much more complex offense than what he’s accustomed to.
Against mediocre defenses, he’ll be OK but I still suspect he’ll struggle badly against good defenses.
If I had it my way, he’d have an air horn attached to his helmet that would go off at the 4 second mark after the snap, signaling he’s gotta either throw it away, take off running or check down. Took WAAAY too many sacks because he held on to the ball too long.
Seriously though, one thing that would help is when he’s under pressure, the WRs would back toward him to try and help him. Saw it way, way too many times where he was scrambling, looking for a receiver and our receivers were just kind of standing around.(?!?!). I put that really bad habit solely on Holman Wiggins. Good recruiter, TERRIBLE position coach.

I've been hard on Jalen on a few things last year but there are some really dumb takes in this thread.
