I don't see any reason to be patient. If he is not making a significant difference in QB play by week 6 then he is dead in the water. I give him first couple games myself but after that he is what he is and as good as he gets all season so if he sucks we will know right away. If he turns out good early then maybe we can turn that into a positive. I'm not holding my breath as I think he is injury prone and just average at best quarterback.
