There are valid points on both sides on putting Dillon in right away. I for one would love to see what we have in him because he has shown some promise. However, I don’t feel this week is a good time. Green Bay may have the best D in football and it would probably be a beat down for him. I don’t want to see him take a beating. The next few weeks are a little better but not much. We should be prudent with him.

As lamp pointed out, every player in his first NFL season is a rookie. It is in fact their rookie season. That's the very definition of a rookie. Very few rookie QB's, even first rounders are ready to start in the NFL that by game three and most not even buy game six. Many of them have been ruined by taking your advice. Waiting until we get to the softer part of the schedule for him to start will give him the best odds of success rather than throwing him into the fire by endangering his success against some of the top teams in the NFL to start off with.

I understand we live in a world where people expect instant gratification but often times we find that ends up being short sighted and counterproductive.

If Gabriel gives us a better chance to win then he should start...I don't GAS that he's a rookie. And NO I am not opining that he gives us a better chance to win. Unfortunately I don't think AB/KS know who does either.

The last rookie QB who played here did quite well.
