A true QB competition is between 2 guys. If we're talking about a competition between 3 or 4 guys, that's just not how it works in the NFL. There simply aren't enough snaps to go around in order to properly evaluate everyone. Jay Gruden was on Ben Standig's podcast recently and said the same thing.

Don't worry man. I'm confident that there will be a competition at every position, and the best player at each position will be the starter. At QB, that will be Fitz. If he balls out, and they don't find their QB of the future in the next 18 months, look for him to come back and do it again.

If he does, the rest of the division will be watching at home come playoff time!
But I won't be shocked if we see him end the season as the backup.

Fire that fucking pigskin. Can't wait for the magic show.
Good draft and a couple more depth to solid FA signings and we have a legit chance at double digit wins. C'mon April 29th!!
Yeah wait until he has a couple 3 int games. The spaz outs will be epic around here.

Totally agree. It was a fun story last year but the Heinicke hype is just that, hype. Otherwise Ron wouldn't have tried trading for Stafford and inquired about several other guys. There's not going to be a legitimate QB competition, nor should there be.
It may or may not be hype. It needs to play itself out in competition. That is the only way we'll know about TH. Just based off of what we saw he at least deserves as shot to compete for the job. I wouldn't just hand the job to Fitz. Someone needs to earn it.

I'm already locked in for at least 4 games of multiple INT's. Hopefully he doesn't blow his load in like the 1st 6 weeks. McLaurin going for 1400+ this year. Going official superstar status.

Well WFT had five games with multiple INTs last year, so I'm not too worried about it.
Anyway, I think the difference will be that he won't be charged with having to do it all with the weapons at his disposal, and this defense.

+1
He's always good for a couple every year. I'm just hoping his ratio of good games to bad games is 3/1. If he does that we can contend for the division title (still don't think we can keep up with the TB's of the world though).
Real talk though, when Fitz was drafted in 2005 did anybody think 16 years later he'd be starting for the WFT? Hell of a story for him.

Hopefully he can keep those games to a minimum here, but it will probably happen. I think that this team, specifically the defense, is built to overcome it though when it does happen.
WFT QBs had five games with at least two INTs, and three games with 3 INTs last year.
You will be hard pressed to find a NFL starter who doesn't do that from time to time.

If you're gonna have an aggressive QB, matching him up with a good defense is the best option. There will also be games where he's on fire and we drop 21 points by half and our defense just puts the other teams QB's dick in the dirt.
We will be exciting. With exciting play comes some eggs.
I'll take it this year.
