Should we start Jackson next week against the bucs (it's only the bucs) so that Wilson doesn't get hurt?
After all we have MRob back.
I understand your concern, but there is nothing demoralizing for a starting QB to be benched for a game, even though the reason was to protect it. It affects confidence, it adds confusion and it almost would be a season killer. It would be like a situation in how Vikings are today. I don't like it for one bit, even though I totally understand your reasoning for starting Jackson. If we are ahead, and the game is in hand, then starting a backup QB should not be that much of an issue. But Russel being so competitive, we need to let him play, grow and figure this out. He will learn how to throw faster, quicker and in tighter windows. Besides, if he has a good game Sunday, it will help boost the whole offensive team for roads ahead. I also would like Percy slowly play some snaps this game and ease into game time.
