Also, I mentioned in the other thread... it's not just big hits you worry about. He just has more chances to land on a shoulder wrong, slam the back of his head off the turf, twist a knee, twist an ankle, pull a hamstring, etc.
I'd love for him to develop into Andrew Luck as a passer with all the arm talent in the world so that your athleticism is purely a luxury. But that's unlikely. So his athleticism is more used out of necessity (for lack of a better phrase).
