At a college level in a comfortable offense.  There's going to come a game where he's going to get hammered in the pocket. Need some sort of counter balance to spare him from a potential [BLEEP] beating.

It's physically demanding. I just hope they balance it out. It's bad enough with Foles out. They may have caught lightning in a bottle with Minshew but all it takes is one misblock and that bottle goes flying off the shelf again.

Obviously we don't want him throwing it 45+ times per game, that would mean our Defense was giving up a lot of points and our run game got even worse. But I wouldn't be too worried if he had to go out there and do it for a couple games, if need be.

25-35 times per game is likely the sweet spot and he gets the ball out pretty fast which limits the possible hits. It's football, he's going to get hit. Can't be scared to let him go out there and sling it because of that.
