Quote:1.you want him working on his flaws his first year. Footwork. Mechanics. Adjust to NFL speed in practice. If you put him in as starter then he will revert to old bad habits in game situations. Fix his flaws in his first year and it will pay off the rest of his career.


2. Offensive line is not looking good.

 

The trouble with #1, where you say "adjust to NFL speed in practice", is that backup QBs don't get practice during the regular season. except on their own.  With limited practice time, it's all about the starter.  

 

I agree with #2.  

 

My opinion is, Gus and Dave have made so many good decisions so far, I am inclined to trust them with this one.   Whether we win in Philly or Washington doesn't make any difference, because we are not yet a playoff caliber team.   So, whether Blake should start right now is not a very important argument.
