All we know right now is he has potential and ability to be the guy.. but does he have the other % between the ears.

Guess we will find out.. but our QB room is actually not bad... either one of the backups could change their stars and Carr in this offense might salvage his career.

This is the beauty of the four months after the draft. It’s the time of the year when anything & everything is possible. Generally everyone finds out how wrong they are at some point during the regular season.

Yes, and we are still undefeated at this time of the year. Got love it.

Brady wasn't a rookie when he took over

EDIT: Kegger has rightly pointed out that the following quote is incorrect and these events came in Brady's 2nd year
No, but he did play a serious number of snaps as a rookie. And it turned out pretty well for him and the team that season, too.

In a week 2 game against New York Jets, Bledsoe took a massive hit from linebacker Mo Lewis. Bledsoe suffered internal bleeding and was rushed to hospital. Rookie quarterback Tom Brady replaced Bledsoe in that game. The 22-year-old backup quarterback started the next seven games in place of Bledsoe and won five

Not sure where that quote came from, but he only attempted 3 passes in his rookie season:

A-ha, the dangers of relying on Google. Apparently it was this piece, which appears to have got the details around timing of those events quite wrong:

"He looks like a wildebeest under attack": Patriots' Apple TV documentary reveals real reason Drew Bledsoe was benched for Tom Brady Brady

When Bill Belichick decided to bench Drew Bledsoe, who returned healthy from a scary injury, for rookie quarterback Tom Brady in 2001, the direction of the franchise changed forever.

Very tough for a rookie QB to come in and do what you're suggesting, but I like the enthusiasm...
