Whoops, now our lead is only 1 TD. What's better -- going 3 and out, or that?

No guts no glory, leave it all out on the field, let em play, he aint going to get good if you keep holding him back. All of those and then some come to mind. Either he learns to be a stellar QB very quickly or we find out that he is not sooner. Bottom line you have to give him a chance. I think he earned that opportunity in the offseason. Now he needs to take his lumps and learn on game day. I would rather we lose the game by trying to win it, than lose the game trying nurse a mediocre lead.
