100% agree.
Beyond just learning to play under center, fixing some mechanical issues, and fundamentals... I actually worry he won't stay healthy. Maybe because he played air raid with a shitty defense, but he looks like he wants to play hero ball a bit too much. That's a good problem to have but it's also a good way to get knocked around a bit. I think Nagy and Reid will hammer that out of him quick especially as he improves pre-snap reads and he adjusts to the pace of the NFL. But I don't expect that to happen right away.
