He seemed uncomfortable in the pocket in the preseason and at times would roll out when it wasn't needed.
With that said, start him.

He is going to play that way regardless of when he starts. He may learn after taking some hits, or maybe not. Either way week 11 this year or week 1 next year likely wont change that risk. Hell you could argue if he gets hurt this year we still have Smith and maybe he learns something from it. Next year we wont have Smith.
Cant make decisions based on fear of injury.
