There has to be a perfect storm to be able to start a rookie quarterback.
When we threw Tim Couch to the wolves, he was never going to succeed. Our line was terrible, and we had no weapons on offense. Throw in the fact everyone was new and there was no continuity. There should be a rule against starting a rookie quarterback on an expansion team.
This situation is different. We have a strong offensive line and some decent weapons. But most importantly, we have a head coach that has built part of his reputation on knowing when a quarterback is ready.
If/when Hue says Kizer is good to go, then great.
If hes not ready, i won't have a problem with Kizer learning and gaining confidence before being run out there.
