I want to hope he's the long term starter.  But let's be honest, any draft choice at any position is pretty much of a crapshoot.  He shows potential, but he also has some headscratcher moments.  But he's a rookie and still pretty inexperienced as a QB at any level.  At this point you just have to trust the evaluation skills of Caldwell that he will develop into that guy.  And the Gabbert comparisons are laughable. 

 

It would be incredibly stupid to give up on him at this point.
