Quote:I don't even see how it's a discussion anymore, he's clearly physically and mentally ready. He's played at a high level every single chance he's been given. People go on and on about them changing his footwork but his footwork seems plenty good enough. His passes are on target and he makes throws and puts the football in places (multiple times now) almost every starter this team has had hasn't been able to do.


I don't believe for one second sitting him all season as the team has alluded to is the best choice. Blake has continued to show us it isn't the best choice.


He will gain valuable experience in being able to take the reps in practice and learn on the field as a rookie. Had his play and performance not overly justified him being the starter I'd understand the teams stance. But that isn't what's happened. He's handled himself tremendously well and earned the opportunity to play week 1 and I have no doubt he's ready.


He won't play lights out all season if he starts and will go through ups and downs but I feel he's shown the capability to handle that aspect of the game. He exudes confidence. It shows in the throws he makes.


I know, these guys are paid big money to make this decision but that doesn't mean their decision is the best one.
