People are trying to make a big deal out of the fact that he runs the scout team. So what. You don't read defenses, call plays, make adjustments at the line, etc.
Plus, the team is still in first place. There is no way in hell Andy Reid (or 99% of head coaches for that matter) is going to put in a raw rookie QB because the focus of attention would by on Andy Reid.

Devil's Advocate:
Nearly every reputable scout/talking head also said that Mahomes was a better prospect than Deshaun Watson.
That kid only lit it up playing with less talent than Mahomes would be surrounded by here.
He's not going to play this year because a.) Andy is a stubborn **** and b.) Andy is a stubborn ****.
