Quote:Even if he's a first rounder.

 

"That's the approach we're going into it," Bradley said when asked about sitting a quarterback for a year, even if it's a first round pick. "Now if we can create that environment, we can just see similar to Seattle. I know Matt Flynn was the quarterback. He was the guy. Russell Wilson got drafted, came in and there was no expectations on him being the starter."

 

 

I agree with what you're saying Knarnn, but didn't Wilson become the starting QB his rookie year for the first regular season game in Seattle?

 

I understand Bradley's quote, but if Bradley is right, and he can create a truly similar environment to the Seahawks, then it seems what he is saying that a rookie QB can and perhaps even will gain the starting job over the older more experienced QB in the preseason. Ie, that's exactly what happened in Seattle where he came from.

 

I just think he was saying that a Teddy, Manziel, Mettenberger, etc, wouldn't HAVE to start until they're ready(unlike say Luck or RG3 HAD to their rookie seasons). If they are ready they'll be starter, if they need a few games they'll sit. Am I reading that right or am I wrong? What do you think?
