Our run game hasn't been as good this year as it was in 2017 and 2018.

Agreed, which has put an emphasis on our passing game.

We needed Fromm to do more this year and he hasn't come through.

I don't think you're understanding. A pocket passing QB can't "do more" when he has no one to throw to. Tom Brady wouldn't be doing much better in this offense.

Those two misses today were putrid and both were squarely on his shoulders. I don't give a shite if the ball was wet; good QBs can throw a ball in some rain. I remember watching Matt Ryan carve up the Jets in what looked like a hurricane in 2017.

Yes, he missed those throws. That was on him. He needed to practice more throwing with wet balls.

That being said, he hasn't had to throw the ball with a hard downpour hardly at all in his 3 seasons at QB so it's not exactly a sign of "regression" to have trouble with it.

As an upperclassman who is supposed to be one of the best QBs in the country, it is his job to make the players around him better. He is not doing that.

Sounds good, but a PP QB can't do an awful lot to make the players around him play better in the game. The best he can do is call the right protections, get his players in place, go through his progressions and deliver a catchable ball where the defense can't take it away. He still has to rely on his OL, his OC, and the receivers themselves to get open and catch the ball. Our receivers have struggled getting leverage all season. That makes it much more difficult to move the ball through the air, especially when so many of those opportunities were on 3rd down.
