Did it really though lets look at it, Beast was hurt most of 2015, so by qtr
qt1
92 attempts 66.3 % complt, 4 tds 99 Qb rating
Qt 2
148 attempts 67.6 complt%, 12 tds, 114.1 qb rating
Qt3
110 attempts, 70% complt, 9 tds, 110 qn rating
Qt4
124 attetmps, 67.7 Complt 114.8 Qb rating
So first thing that jumps out at me his not so much a slow start as fewer attempts.
Now 2016
Qt1
105 attempts, 70.5 Compt%, 0 tds, 91.9 Qb rating
qt2
166 attempts, 62% compt, 10 TDs, 96 Qb rating
qt3
111 attempts, 61.3% complt, 2 tds, 75 qb rating
qt4
156 attempts, 64,7% compt, 9 tds, 100 Qb rating
So not a slow start form complt % wise but from td wise, and also Qt3 was not good, but qtr 2 was very good.
Now 2017
qt1
119 attempts, 58% compt, 4 tds, 74 QB rating
qt2
151 attempts, 61 complt%, 4 tds, 81 QB rating
qt3
144 attempts, 58 Compt%, 7 tds, 85 qb rating'
qt4
139 attempts, 68coompt5, 19tds, 134 qb rating
Now that is a slow start
so far 2018
qt1
73 attempts, 65.8 Complt%, 6 tds, 115.8 Qb rating
qt2
115 attempts, 71Complt%, 11 tds, 125.5 qb rating
qt3
76 attempts, 63 complt%, 5 TDs, 98 qb rating
qt4
112 attempts, 64complt%, 9 Tds, 104 qb rating
So not a slow start, more about attempts.
Now for perspective lets look at 2012-2014 numbers on avg
qt1
92 attemps, 64%comp, 3 tds, 93 qb rating
qt2
126 attempts, 63% complt, 8 tds, 105 Qb rating
qt3
101 attempts, 62% compl, 5 tds, 91 qb rating
qt4
93 attempts, 60%compl, 7 tds, 97 qb rating
Again seems mostly about attempts as does every year but the one. so not starting slow, just not many chances.
So other than 1 year the whole slow start thing really is not true, and any perceived slow start was more about attempts than an actual slow start. Also, add in at no time were we in a passing system built for Wilson. So to me, this whole slow start thing except for 1 season is basically not accurate.
