Every rookie deals with a 2nd team or 3rd team unit where drops, missed blocks, and mistakes are gonna happen. What you are doing is the “IF” thing.I think everyone on either end of spectrum is taking extreme positions. Those who want him to start are ignoring that he's not ready (in fact, no rookie QB is really ready to start). The ones who think he's shit the bed are ignoring that he's two Benson drops and one Nailor catch from having a very different characterization of how he's performed. The truth- is like usual- in the middle. He hasn't looked great, but hasn't looked that bad. he's looked like a rookie playing with a bad o-line. So he'll sit. As he should.
IF that ball was caught he may have thrown a pick the very next play as well. If a CB didn’t slip he may never have thrown that TD pass. Bottom line he hasn’t played well. Everyone on this board expected more from him. With that being said nobody should be writing him off as a failed pick. It’s preseason… this is where you make your mistakes. The truth isn’t always somewhere in the middle.
