I wish I could find the quote from the movie draft day, which wasn't a great movie. But Dennis Leary as a coach had a great line about rookie QB's and how dumb and scared they are. The good ones, get past that and go on to run offenses, but a lot of them don't whether its a question of courage, willingness to fail first, brain power, whatever.

Those first few starts, man they're crucial, not during the start, but what happens for the week after those starts.

I've developed a few QB's coaching and when I get that rookie kid its the same thing. No matter what the system, how simple or complex it is, it all looks like 1000 miles an hour for the first couple of weeks, then for the good ones it slows down and creates a tempo of its own.

This week is crucial in terms of what Nick does with the information that he got on Thursday night.
