Who said he's up to speed on the offense? Fran said he may be our best QB once he develops or did I misunderstand something?

I know everyone is hyped up to see all these qbs and happy we opened up the competition. Try to remember a few 'real world' things and if you're ok with these things that's OK. But they could still happen...

Possible split in the locker room - some want Filardi, some want Carney, etc

Splitting 1st team reps between 4 guys on a short week could easily lead to none of them being ready for Friday.

IF we are mixing them in during the game, you open the possibility of more false starts as cadences change, timing issues between WR/QB on quick passes, RB/QB handoffs, etc.

Communication issues between QBs and the staff.

I sincerely hope whoever is behind center finds success and I'm not here to tell people they are wrong for wanting a change. Just remember that change doesn't necessarily mean better.

The thing that concerns me at this point...Fran has not indicated that any one of the QBs in reserve was simply waiting for Ricky to fail to get his shot. He had to 'open the competition'. When you have 4 QBs you don't have any. Nobody has stepped up enough in practice for Fran to say ok Ricky you're out and XYZ is in. Instead we have..."Ricky's not getting it done so we'll let anyone try" - to me that is not a good sign.
