Matt Krohn-Imagn Images Our QB is getting much needed reps against a really good defense! There are plenty of practice recap stories and many say that our young QB is struggling a little. This should not cause any alarm and should be expected especially when facing a BFlo defense that is not giving any breaks. This is actually a good thing in my (and many other’s) opinion.
