Yeah, I can question his toughness, when you're trying to equate it to him throwing a lot.
The stats bear this out: He's near or at the top when it comes to attempts over the past 3 years, and he's near or at the bottom when it comes to getting sacked.
Peyton Manning throws the ball a lot as well, and he's rarely hit. (Interestingly enough, he's been sacked 49 times in the past 3 years)
He throws a lot, therefore he gets hit a lot is not a logically sound argument.
