If he's the backup week one, he is then one play away from being the starter... something no one believes he would be ready for. If he shows that he is ready for that possibility, sure. But otherwise, it's not worth risking the long term development.
If you're a backup, you need to be capable of being a starter, and we have no indication right now that he's ready for that. Bray probably isn't either, but there's no investment there.
