Yeah, I get that. But my point, or my question is - can you really evaluate him until it’s a real game? Practice and preseason don’t present the same decisions for a FS as does a real game. Stroud and Love aren’t the best QBs to face OTJ training.
In my mind, the logical thing to do is to reduce risk by bringing in a proven veteran and letting Cross compete with him. Worst case is that he learns, best case is that he beats him out. Either way, there’s some depth at that spot.
