That would be a terrible back step for this team... to trot out Bortles or Henne only to have the rookie start midway.
If you're gonna play the young guy, play him from day 1, imo.

I think it all depends on how quickly they catch onto the playbook. Remember, Deshaun Watson didn't start the season. Neither did Dak Prescott when he was drafted. Sure, it didn't take them long to catch on thrive, but their tenure wasn't immediate. Hopefully, we draft a guy who can start right away, but if it takes a few games for them to be ready, that's fine too. I'm looking at the big picture. I believe we bring in a cheaper veteran FA QB as competition for the rookie. I don't expect them to start long, but it wouldn't surprise me if the veteran did start at least a few games.
