Seriously, no one should have a horse in this fight. Whoever is the best QB on the roster right now should play. Regular season isn't some sort of training camp for the QB. I view a wasted year as an unsuccessful year which we have had a run of. I don't care who gets playing time as long as we win.
To me, JP didn't look like a QB who needed seasoning. He looked like a QB who doesn't get it. A QB who needs seasoning makes a lot of big plays but forces the ball too much, runs too much. He shows brilliance but then makes dumb mistakes. JP was showing some flashes, but most of the time he was missing wide receivers badly, looking confused etc--showing lack of ability, not lack of judgment. Not a QB I would mortgage another regular season over. If he has it with a new offense and less pressure, good. But he has to actually be better than Holcomb and Nall this season not "in the future".
