This is the Taysom Hill scenario (again assuming Brock is 100% healthy) at the start of the NFL season. Taysom did well behind Brees, but the next head coach changed Tasyom's career trajectory to TE despite going 4-1 as a starting QB after Brees retired. This keeps Trey's head in the game and offers him actual in-game reps to develop. They can also tell his evolving proficiency in Kyles passing offense by actually comparing him to Brock in actual game and similar playcall scenarios.
How in the world does that make him a better QB? Tossing him out has a Taysom Hill like player? All your doing is making him a glorified RB who might throw the ball once on a designed one read play.
I hate that idea. If Brock's the guy then play him. No random crap. If Lance is the guy play him. No sub package crap.
IMO none of these guys have a long leash. They aren't in the developing a QB business clearly. If you can't play then on to the next guy and so on and so on. It's wild because they got no problem dealing with the developmental process at every other position.
Walsh did that with Joe and Deburg, and Kyle did that (for a couple of games) during Trey's rookie year with Jimmy. I think he can do that again to showcase Trey and get Trey in-game reps. You mention how can Trey get actual game reps to improve if Brock is 100% healthy, well that's *one* way of doing it.
