I don't believe he's the long term solution at QB, but he'll have the chance to change my mind this season and I hope he does. I think the improvements on defense and the likely improvement to come in the running game will take pressure off of him and reduce his attempts per game and he'll automatically look at least a little better than he did last year by default. It's the situations where we'll be forced to throw and the defense knows it and expects it that concern me.


I also don't think help is on the way at QB so he'll have to be the guy this year. I could see us taking a QB in either the 2nd or 3rd round depending on how long some of these prospects stay on the board. I think taking one there applies pressure to Blake which I think he would benefit from, but it doesn't demand that the draftee start immediately like taking a guy in the 1st round usually does.
