Well you can't have an answer to that question until you see him running with the 1st unit. If he can assuage those concerns (critically, his 'processing speed'), everything else he brings to the table will play.
They needed to see how he handles the deep end of the pool and I'm glad to see they're trying to find out early.

Shit, I'd rather Thornhill just start Week 1, experience whatever growing pains he needs to, and then be fully entrenched by the playoffs.
That will be the best thing for the team by far.
I'll take a couple lumps if it pays off.
