I understand that he makes a lot of money, but most QBs who come into the league get a bunch of time to learn before starting so that they can make their mistakes out of the public eye. I would think it would be very difficult to start so early in your career, before you're really ready, in terms of skills. He took one for the team by becoming the starting QB so early in his career. By doing so, he opened himself up to undue criticism by being judged when he really hadn't gotten any on-the-job training. I think he needs some time as a backup so that they can work on his mechanics (plus), which I assume would be difficult to do if you had to also perform on Sundays.
I remember having some of my violin teachers change my technique and I sure as hell didn't want to have a recital any time soon afterwards.
