I don't think there will be anything arbitrary about it. I came up with 5 games after considering  various factors that may come into play such as:

 
  • giving a likely re-vamped O-Line time to gel
  • establishing a run-game
  • evaluating Blake's play vs. varying defensive schemes and quality of play
Maybe that gets done in 3 games, but I doubt it. I think in the end, they need more than three games to properly evaluate his effectiveness after an offseason presumably spent getting his footwork and mechanics ironed out. 

 

I know you think you've got Blake all figured out, and maybe you do, but I feel like he's been a complete roller-coaster and I want to see if he can consistently play like the "high-points" of that  ride instead of the dips.

I don't think three games in 2017 will make my mind on the matter unless he's just miserably bad in three straight games. I don't anticipate that happening.
