I remember an early interview with Blaine and he was asked what was the main lesson being taught and what he had learned so far. In summary he replied the coaches had stressed ALWAYS throwing the ball away if under pressure,never take a sack or throw an interception trying to force a throw if a receiver is covered.

I knew he was going to have a hard time with that Mularkey mindset.

So a lot depends on the coaches when he does start, whether this year or next, will they let him play his game? If not it doesn't matter how long he holds a clipboard,they have to let the talent use the skills that got them there.
