And...the 1st round talent is debatable because of whats between the ears with this immature guy. Minimal risk? Possible he learned some lessons and does not throw Tomlin & teammates under the bus with his inexcusable actions or decision making like he did in WASH. Hopefully since the PITT organization wanted him they will demonstrate to DH how to be a professional athlete. He is not there yet.
Your intel sounds a bit off. Gruden did not want DH drafted. He was drafted anyway. DH did not start the better half of his first season because of lame duck coach Gruden. The only snaps DH took his first half year in practice was admittedly with the scout team. He had a few snaps in practice before his first start that season. Things were up and down for him, coaching changes during the season and for the most part, a wasted season for DH. If you followed his 2nd season this year in which RR basically gave him the starters job, he fluffed off, study habits questioned, his implementation and understanding of the offense not consistent, his accuracy awful, his read progressions limited and his pocket presence and feel for the NFL game just wasn't there. I will agree at this point since in WASH we saw up close the work required for DH to become an NFL starting QB and he has a ton of work to do and even more work on his person and decision making skills. I think we can all agree, DH has an NFL arm that jumps out at you.
You are 100% correct.
Minimal risk in the cap commitment sense. If he proves problematic or doesn’t pan out then they can cut ties with very little impact.
