It’s the logical choice. If it truly was a coin flip, you start the guy with more experience and keep the talented youngster involved so that he can get the experience that was holding him back. It is tougher to do at the QB position but still needs to happen.
We will truly know how close the choice was once we see how much time Rising gets on the field. If he’s just handing off in garbage time, my conclusion will be that it wasn’t as close as reported. If there are specific packages to keep Rising involved and sharp, it will speak to the closeness and truly be a data point towards there being no drop off should Brewer miss any time.
