Hard to blame him, given he wants to start. Though he’s also not starting in Cleveland

He at least has an opportunity to win the job in Cleveland.

Definitely. I do wonder who will be their starter by the end of the season

It may very well be Shedeur

I'll be surprised if he gets zero starts

Me too. I think he will get his shot. Gabriel is pretty good I think, at least having watched him last season. Wonder how he will perform in the league

They'll probably give them both a look

There is a good chance Gabriel is QB2 because he is a better QB2 to Flacco but that doesn’t mean he is a better QB1.
Like with the 49ers last year. Allen was 2 and Dobbs was 3 but it was understood if Purdy was out mid game or for one game it would be Allen but if he was out for multiple games it would be Dobbs.
Might be a similar situation.

I think he'll get a start too

He has a better chance to start during his rookie deal in Cleveland than in Baltimore but Ravens are a top tier organization and he could have learned a lot under Lamar. I get it though. 4 years is a long time to ask someone to wait for their shot and by then you’re probably pegged as a backup and no one will give you a shot as a QB1 when you do become a FA.

I look at folks like Aaron Rogers and Steve Young as great examples of becoming better players for waiting, but it really is rare.

I think it depends on the player, and if they make the most of the situation. Some guys wait and learn humbly, others bitch and complain about not being a rookie starter.

Even Love studying under Rodgers for a few years looks like he is now becoming one of the better QBs in the league.

I agree. Cleveland has better short term potential but Baltimore has better long term potential.

Makes logical sense. But he also could of learned on a rookie deal then forced a trade or signed somewhere as a free agent

Yes but I get it that 4 years is a long time to ask a guy to wait for his shot. I mean he could ask for a trade but he would be under contract for 4 years so they don’t have to trade him.

Yeah but you get to learn in a world class organization. Plus if you got it you will pop and a team will trade for you. We have seen it countless times in the NFL and now he’s on a unstable franchise

It's a reasonable argument. I get it. I am just saying I get why he doesn't look at it that way as well.
