If Gus had an ideal QB, I'm guessing he'd be smart, with the ability to sling it accurately, and who has enough mobility to do what we do on the ground.

That said, given that he keeps getting exceptional athletes, I'm not sure how much it matters anymore. But yes, I do think trust is a huge deal, especially considering Gus has a lot of confidence in his ability to open up options with less QB involvement.

We'll see what happens, but I think he likes what he's seen from Nick recently. Nick is a great athlete, is progressively making better and better decisions, and by many accounts is becoming a more accurate passer this year. Perhaps most importantly, he took what Gus gave him and excelled at it, and he's shown a desire to thrive in the big moments.

Given what we've dealt with with other QBs in the recent past, wanting the ball at key moments, which Nick does, is nice. Whether he's the guy for all of those moments is a different question, but he's done well so far, obviously.
