In the spirit of full disclosure, I was crushed when Steve went down. Have not been that deflated after a big win in a very long time.
It would certainly seem like our passing game will take a hit but let's see what Rickie can do. Like many, I am concerned. That is mostly due to the unknown plus what we have seen. Still, Rickie had a nice TD drive when he came in.
I was very impressed with how Rickie handled not being QB#1. He was very supportive of Steve, he was classy, he was team-first. He emphasized continuing to improve and being ready in case he was called upon to help the team. That is what a solid teammate does. That is also what a true leader does.
So, I'm all-in on Team Rickie. It is his opportunity, and I hope he comes out blazing. Will he be successful? We all hope so. He may not be and that is yet to be determined. Until such time, he deserves to have the fan base behind him. I'm behind him and I am sure the team is as well.
