Really well put together. Thorough and well informed.
As for his #4, I think one season is the perfect amount of time to let a QB develop. Allows them to ease into the whole NFL preparation process and see what it's all about, and it allows the QB to really get a grasp of the playbook. By now, Patrick should know enough of it to feel comfortable with just reading defenses instead of worrying about what routes are being ran and what protections or audibles are available.
By now, any more time on the bench is far less valuable than playing time. The Kid already showed HUGE strides with his footwork and comfort level under center against Denver, so I think those kinks are mostly worked out. Credit to the coaches and his hard work for that.
