Yea, I think you have to look at the possible positives. The negatives certainly make themselves clear, fast.
Not giving up on THIS year but next year sets up really well with a couple of experienced, mobil QBs who will have a year in the Watson system under their belt and of course a ton of meaningful playing time from this year. Add to that the incoming QB prospect(s) who will have a two-player cushion during their first year.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Heard has ever missed a game due to injury.
As far as this year goes, I will be happy if our defense can keep us in game 1 (BYU) and win the day for us. By game 2, I expect our offense to be able to inflict it's will with more effectiveness. I would expect weekly improvement after that. Of course, that assumes a lot.
If Heard can get the system down, I'm telling you the kid's going to fly.
