Will a young signal-caller be better off in the long run if he gets thrown into the fire right away, initial results be damned, or if he gets to sit back for a few years and learn from one of the game’s best?
DeShone Kizer is not the one to settle the debate, because if there’s such a thing as getting the best of both worlds, he’ll eventually be Exhibit A.
Thrust into a starting job as a rookie with the Browns last year, Kizer predictably struggled. He went 0-15 as a starter on a team that was missing its Hall of Fame left tackle and star wide receiver for most of the season.
