Just to play along explain to me how you would even be able to evaluate what you have in Nate off of one game vs the Rams?

Nate Davis is a 5th round QB.......what are you homers really expecting this kid to do? He hasn't even taken any serious reps in practice at QB, do some research from now on.

We all know this... We all know what round he was drafted.. I'm talking evaluation.. Reads, Progression, pocket presence, throws, situatons. Yes they all can be evaluated in a game situation. I can't beleive some are so closed minded. I'm not saying he is the answer or maybe - maybe not a better option, but before considering giving up two first round picks for Bradford or mcCoy, or trading for Vick, I feel we should give him a look even if its one game.

You want this poor kid to play when he has had almost 0 reps in practice...he will get killed and look like jackass in the process.

8-8 to me.. i wanna be able to say we didnt have a losing record this year..

A rookie QB who has not practiced....even though its the Rams he would play horribly.

8-8.
Wasting the time to evaluate Davis now is just dumb. If he is as good as some here suggest, he will win the job prior to Training Camp. I am fairly sure he will go into the offseason as our number 2 and Hill will be traded. Davis does have a lot of upside. He showed a lot of promise in Training Camp this year. Now he will have a complete offseason, 7 months, to work with Raye, Johnson and the WRs who care to work. He will have mini camps and should Smith Falter as badly as some declare he will, Davis will be the number 1. If the Coaching staff doesn't feel he has the IT that Smith doesn't then watch for a QB to be taken in April's Draft on the first day.

And if he did we would know.. That better than just following you and your apparent crystal ball. This game should be about evalution anyway win or lose, they turn in there pads after the game.

How are you going to properly evaluate a player who does not know what he is doing. It's not fair to "throw him out there" and see what happens. We may as well make you the starting QB and see what happens.
