I didn't say how JG operates, I said watching JG operate. It isn't about watching JG and learning from what he does because "JG does things right". This isn't about JG. Whether JG is good or bad, there is something to learn on just about every play. Trey gets to experience seeing these plays VS far more intelligent and intricate defenses in real time but then they get to go to the tape and dissect, analyze and learn from each play and take something away.
The more Trey sees and learns from a mental standpoint better prepares him for putting it to practice in real time. The less he sees and knows, the more he has to figure out in real time. It's common sense, and it is why you hear these QBs who have had to sit before they were deemed ready to play, claim that it truly helped them a ton.
Downplaying holding a clipboard for a rookie is silly s**t. It's an emotionally driven opinion, I get it though, some folks are tired of JG and are more than ready to see the shiny new toy. Does not mean the kid is ready though, and if Kyle were to play Trey before he is ready and ruins him, not a single fan has to fall on that sword, but Kyle does.
Let Kyle play Trey when Kyle is ready to play Trey. It's his ass not yours or mine and he dang well knows that. This is the best QB prospect Kyle has ever wanted and gotten, have a little faith and trust that the coach is trying to put Trey in the best position possible to succeed.
Yea that same HC said you don't get better at football by not playing football
But he is playing football in practice and on the scout team. That is sharpening him up but putting the theory of learning the play book into his head without the pressure of a real game. So then he can make his mistakes and learn from them without it damaging the team. He needs to know the plays down pat before being thrown into the lions den so they are automatic. Then he can be more situationally aware as he does not have to concentrate on trying to remember complex plays. He just executes while being able to look around and not get killed.
You are keen to see him play. I get that. But be careful what you wish for because if you get your wish he may not play for long before getting broken for good.
