The ideal realistic situation for 2PM has to be sitting for one year. Give him this one year to learn the pro game, the Reid offense, just to really see how it is all supposed to be done. Then... let him loose in '18.
Because lets be honest, once the kid knows what he is doing within the offense, sitting him is nothing more than wasted time and opportunity. Guys like Carr, Mariota, Winston... all weren't necessarily 'ready' to play day one but they did because they weren't quite as raw as PM2, or they didn't have a steady starter in front of them. It didn't bother them, they are clearly going in the right direction.
No way it should take more than one season before he plays IMO. 2017: Learn off the field, 2018: Learn on the field.
