Rice will be better than Juju and you're gonna see that starting next month. He's just getting started

I think so too, but we have already gone over this point a bunch of times. Just 2 weeks ago Justin Watson received 11 Targets like he was prime Julio or Megatron in our biggest game of the year. So just two weeks ago our coaching staff viewed Watson as the #1 as he was getting the 1st read on critical, need to have it downs.
Rice is more athletic than JuJu was but it comes down to moving the chains and the next step for Rice is to have our coaching staff use him that way. He did get some good looks this week on 3rd down so hopefully it continues.
The issue is will Rice pass last year's JuJu this year by the playoffs. JuJu performed when needed on the biggest stage in last year's SB 2nd half. Rice has a higher bar to climb than just looking the part and having a big game now and then.
