I know he did it against lesser talent but to play Devils advocate he also is playing with less talent. His throws on the run looked great today. Beathard is OK but I wouldn't expect him to win many games. Rourke IMO played well enough to get a shot at higher competition.

I dunno if he's there yet. A lot of the backup QB is being that voice of experience when the starter comes back to the sideline and plays are reviewed. Not saying he can't be that guy, but I have a feeling that is where CJB fits well. He has starting experience, he's familiar with the playbook, and he's comfortable taking the backseat to the starter.

I'll remind you that Rourke and I share our alma mater, so don't think this is me just dumping on a young kid. If he's owning the film room and has Trevor's ear between series, I'll give the coaches credit for taking risk and I'll be really happy for the kid.

If something happened to Trevor, though, I'd feel a lot more secure with CJB right now than I would Rourke. He's gonna give the FO a lot to think about come final cuts if he can keep this up, though!
