Either way, I am comfortable with whomever we choose, and grateful that there won't be a big dropoff if QB2 needs to play.
Both of them are significantly better pure passers than their predecessor. With the offensive line being a strength this year, and our having the best stable of running backs (even without Kedren Young), the offense can work at full capacity.
I liken this to the 1990 QB battle between Rick Mirer and Jake Kelchner. Either of those guys could run the offense very nicely, and both of them were significantly better passers than Tony Rice was.
Mirer won by default, because Kelchner broke his collarbone in the Blue and Gold game. Prior to that, Kelchner was ever so slightly ahead of Mirer.
The better man at the time will take the job.
