If I'm Derrick Johnson or Tamba Hali, I want to change from the norm of the last 12-13 years and throw the kid in who just might make the offense truly explosive.

If you’re Johnson you’re getting blown by and halo you’re sitting on the bench.

There are a lot of mitigating factors into keeping alex as starter until either eliminated from playoff contention, injury or worsening play.

I can see their view. They were very close to going to OT in the divisional round last year and a new rookie with zero experience isn't good on paper. A rookie QB has never won a SB before.

Putting in the training 24/7 and wasting your last chance.

It's not our view, but I can absolutely see their side of it.

Tom Brady was a rookie in 2001 unless the one game he played in 2000 disqualifies him.
