This isn't about being nonsensical. You put your players on the field who give you the best chance to win...and guess what? The Oakland Raiders have hard-hitters too. Hell, it was a Kansas City Chief that took out Joshie McDungiels' apprentice last year. Any player can be lost for the year on any play in any situation...if it is a sprain and is just about what you can grit your teeth through and not risking further injury, you put him out there.

If he can't scramble 100%, if he's not healthy 100%, this franchise is going to regret the decision to start him if they do for a long time to come.
How many years has this franchise and fan base waited to get this type of Quarterback( assuming he turns out great )?
If Matt Cassel get's "Brady'd" or worse; this fan base will go to Defcon 1 in the blink of a snap. This is a bad idea.
