I can see where youre coming from. I wanted NP to supplant yates and he did. I dont think hes played anything close to good enuff to become the starter tho. Those 2 drives everyone was going crazy for vs det was vs 2nd n 3rd string players battling for spots, hardley as impressive as some make it out to be when you see what mahomes and trubisky are doing to the same caliber players. Nps short game is good but when the take away the short and intermediate he hasnt shown any other throwing skills to think he could start slinging deep outs, posts, and seam routes. It was really let down when i saw the game a few mins ago, the hype was bigger than the plays were.
Its a valid comparison until we see he can hit the deeper routes n back the defense up.
