I totally agree he learned by sitting but I think it is safe to say he was a better option and had enough learning under his belt a mere month ago.

Regardless why they sat, it helped their development. Back in the day rookie QBs always sat for a year or two.

I willing to bet many prospects over the years could have flourished much better if they had the luxury of sitting and easing into the role.
