Quote:If he continues to play the way he's been playing you'd really be fine with him holding a clip board for 16 weeks? I think it's easy to say that right now because you still get to see him play a few quarters each week. I will be shocked if anyone is still on board with this approach 4, 5, 6 weeks into the season and you haven't seen him play any meaningful minutes in 2 months.

You are looking at this from a fans stand point which is totally fine. You see a glimpse of hope that could change this team around. Change us from being in the league of lions and browns teams to colts and patriots dynasties. We all see that and we all ready for that.


I think the coaches see this as well. But I believe they see something else. They understand they are not in a win now mode like the Jets or Bills. They know they have a patient owner who sees the light at the end of the tunnel. The fans can scream and cry and even stop coming to the games. But they realize once they build a consistent winner that all will stop.


If they let the kid sit for a few weeks to make sure he is ready versus playing before he is ready then that may be the difference for Blake. If they think he is ready by week one them that is fine too.


As a fan you can feel however you want to. I just think there are some of is here that see this will play out just fine in the end. This year was not going to be a Super Bowl year anyway so why not allow consistency and growth to happen? It will all pay off in the end.
