I think he showed flashes either after he got comfortable or after the scrubs were on defense. But I definitely don’t have confidence in him yet. Jimmy’s way ahead in my opinion at this point.

As you saw in the game, more he plays, the more comfortable he will get. The growing pains are going to be there if he plays in year one or sits out and plays in year two. Pick your poison.

Played in a press man defense in college so not surprising. Michigan DBs plays extremely physical and tight coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea that he gains nothing out of a year of practice, being coached by NFL coaches, learning the offense and watching another QB have success and make mistakes, is incorrect. I’ve mentioned the examples of Young, Rodgers, Mahomes. There’s plenty of rookies who were ruined in my opinion because they played before they were ready to and never recovered, but I’ll admit I just can’t think of many QBs who walked into a roster like this and took the reigns. Who knows what’s the right way, and I’d say it depends on the rookie’s history and the system they’re coming in to. But bottom line, in my opinion Lance will improve a ton before year two by sitting the bench this year. Maybe as much as if he was playing. But I see no reason to sit him in preseason. Get him on the field and keep him there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin K never learned to adjust his Howitzer arm, and the team suffered because of it. Obviously two different people, but I'm just saying it could go either way.

Get him on the field and keep him there. Kyle Boller is a guy that comes to mind when thinking of high profile rookies that were inserted on a roster poised to go to the Super Bowl. Started right way, and the Ravens went 5-3 before he got hurt, but it was more so in spite of him. And really he held the team back the next couple of years, which resulted in Brian Billick getting Steve McNair. Obviously Lance is a better prospect than Boller was with what else he can bring to the table, but yeah, there is one example. Boller was the third QB taken that year at 19th overall after Carson Palmer and Byron Leftwich. Great arm with a pretty spiral, but just inaccurate. Ravens traded their 2004 first round pick to move up to get him too. Edited August 23, 2021 by TecmoSuperJoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
