Well hell, I guess I'll be the one to defend poor little Fitz. I don't see Staley, Tiano or Williams beating out Fitz, barring injury. Plus I don't see where any of the other QBs have ANY advantage on him at all. Speed? nope, arm strength? nope (ask D Gray about that) pocket awareness? nope, ability to read the option? Nope. Leadership? Maybe, who knows.
Williams may have a small experience advantage and Staley may be more of a power runner but that's about it.
I'm extremely excited about this kid. I think we have a Brett Favre type deal here. I'm not saying he's gonna be as good as Favre but here's a kid that mainly ran the ball in HS and comes in with this rocket arm and huge big play potential. I'm sure Dan will say it's a competition because that's what coaches do but I'd be shocked if it's not Fitz and its nothing to do with Staley's maturity to me. It's about what I've seen from Fitz.
