Eh I'm not big on the sit and wait approach. I think each quarterback is unique and handles situations differently. So each case is different. It didn't ruin Troy Akman his first year he went 1-15 and was pounded hard and the league has made this a very friendly quarterbacking league since then. Rothlessburger played his rookie year and had great success and he was taken three spots higher in the draft at #7.
I don't see a football savvy guy sitting on the bench behind Alex Smith as anything going make him any better than if he plays the sooner the better imo not saying out the gates first game against the Pats but after 6 weeks and fully accumulated assuming he knows the playbook front and back and you can ease him into games when the offense is stalling.
Really what is he going to learn from Alex Smith four yard out passes?
