Quote:Gus/Dave/Fisch are just following a wise plan that strategically placed the kid in a comfortable learning environment w/o pressure to start. They know he's going to take the reigns  -  and they know he'll take them sooner rather than later.

  But  - They aren't going to just throw their plan out the window after the third preseason game. Why would anyone expect them to alter course when the plan has worked so well thus far?  It's just a matter of time.

They'll either make an announcement on Monday, Sept 1st naming him the starter - or they'll let Chad hang himself for a few games and then be"forced" to put the rookie out there. I'm fine with that.  This team is NOT going to the playoffs even if the kid starts right away. Way too many holes and lack of depth. 

 

Also.  Can we merge the 17 threads on this topic??
