I am big on developing Quarterbacks, ironically, I don't think most NFL teams are. I think that the team always should have 3 on the roster and 1 on the practice squad. I also think that the team should have a quarterback coach for each QB. The position is too valuable not to invest time in ensuring proper footwork and a quick accurate release.
Mike White should be coming along nicely in his development. I have always heard that the speed of the game is the most difficult aspect of a QB prospering. Young QBs often can't process the information pre-snap and then go through the progressions quick enough to become a starter. Hopefully, Mike White has been working his craft this season and learning.
As good as Romo was reporters always talked how horrific he was during his first two years of practice. But Tony committed himself to winning a starting role.
Mike White will have to be extraordinary to displace Dak. Dak has had a lot of wins his first three seasons. A contract dispute or injury will be the only way that White reaches the field.
My expectations of Mike White is to see a vast improvement during camp and pre-season. I did not see that leap from Rush last season and I hope that one of those guys will show their value. I few years back I wanted Dallas to draft Vaughan. Dallas did not but signed him as a. Undrafted free-agent. He looked good as a rook then looked horrific the next pre-season.
I hope that White develops into a starter or trade-bait. I also think that for a QB to develop that they have to have that desire to excel. Often, QBs are prima donnas that have been catered to and when they enter the pros they are just-a-guy. We will see when camp breaks.
