With a completion percentage of 67.9 and a QB rating of 109.9 So the guy is quite capable.

I wouldn't read into those stats one bit. He was playing as a 3rd stringer in preseason. He was lighting up guys that are for the most part backup NFL players or practice squad types. Sure, it's a positive sign that he played well, but I wouldn't use those stats as an argument that he can be a capable starter at this point.
