Then, to everyone's amazement, Wentz was named the opening day starter and had a pretty decent rookie campaign. Who's to say that something similar can't happen in KC? AS I've said before, I trust AR's judgement either way. I will say that while I think that if he started this year that he would make a lot of mistakes. But I think that he is a student of the game and will learn from those mistakes. I also don't believe that he would be ruined ala David Carr if we were to start him this year. The Chiefs have a solid offensive line and a very good defense. They have a good running game. One of the best tight ends in the game and speedy deep threat. What better situation could a young quarterback ask for?

I tend to agree. Things change very quickly in the NFL. Lots of rookies get pushed into the starting role despite the staff being adamant they wouldn't. I completely agree the best scenario is to have him learn for a year. But by no means do I think he's at risk of ruin if some crazy scenario sees him having to start a few games as a rookie.
