I do think it's good for a player to get experience on the field - I feel that is ultimately the only way of becoming a true NFL star. However, I think he is getting alot of useful experience by being on the sidelines and watching the stragedies develop and getting the mental aspects of the game embedded in his mind. I think that will make his "hands on" experience easier to cope with once he's out there on the field. I realize QBs like Ben and Eli have appeared to be light years ahead of their development, but I also believe that doesn't happen with every young player.

What are you talking about? We're among the most patient fans in the league with quarterback development.
