He is not in the catbird seat, and that needs to be made clear. He may think he is, but he's not.
You do not get to keep your starting spot because you happened to get injured while you were playing poorly. Getting injured is not a Get Off of Bench Free card.
I think you'd be hard pressed to get one other person on the board to say that Nico is a better QB than Dief. Dief had earned the job, he has played better than Nico against tougher competition. It's his to lose.
Nico needs to know that he will not be just handed the job. Maybe he can earn it back. Maybe he'll come back better. Drew Olson did his knee and when he came back he was a muuuuch better QB. Miracles happen.
But, Nico should not come back thinking he'll be handed the starting job. That's gotta be clear up front.
