If Rosen is traded and "the annointed one" Murray drafted then how comfortable will the fans be with Brett Hundley starting until "supermurray" is ready to run the show? Are all you Murrayites goin to be patient enough to let KM watch and learn for a few games or longer when he has problems adjusting to the NFL? Do you really expect him to come in and start immediately? Is it better for his possible long term development to watch and learn for a while instead of jumping in the fire immediately and possibly getting the Tim Couch/David Carr treatment.Both guys got brutally handled by the NFl..Couch lasted 5 or 6 yeaers but he never was what was expected.David Carr hung on for 10 plus years mostly as a backuop his last several years.You just don`t know how a rookie QB will hold up.Expecting Murray to come in a be like Mayfield is a longer shot than murray coming in and being like Goffs rookie year.A lot more rookie QBs struggle than take the league by storm.
I don’t think there is a right vs wrong when it comes to starting vs sitting. Russell Wilson started out of the gate, Aaron Rodgers sat for years.
If a player has what it takes to play in this league I lean towards starting them immediately and accelerating the learning curve. I think you can only grow so much by holding a clipboard. The real growth comes from actual game experience.
With that said, if Murray is the pick and starts out of the gate, I’ll be honest in saying I would expect the first 8 games to be quite mediocre as he adjusts to the speed and athletes of the NFL.
