obviously you'd up his AWR even if said QB doesnt see the field because one would assume he'd be learning the game as he held the clipboard

if he's not ready to play and youre scared to throw him in there..dont ...just like real life..(M10 ratings aside) Harrington's rating is probably lower than it was as a rookie because he was thrown into the fire and showed his worth
