The red flag for me would be the new regime - hell or high water - insisting on starting their highly drafted QB if he doesn't give the team the best chance to win in week 1. Doesn't mean he won't turn into Joe Montana down the road, but to suggest that player MUST start week 1 because of where he was drafted is dumb, and not a good way for the new regime to get buy-in from the rest of the roster.

Welcome to the NFL, just how it works. A high first rounder is going to get chances that a 5th rounder won't. Fair or not it's how things work.
