And so he's just going to keep chasing those short-term goals with the hope that at some point in the training camp sessions, the preseason, he can get involved.

This is a conversation for another day, and so we don't have to go there now.

But I'd imagine you'd want him to play.

a few preseason snaps at least before you just throw him into full contact in the regular season.

So I think ideally you would hope that he could return to that 11-on-11 full play somewhere in the range of that second, third week of training camp.

I know everyone's looking at week one, but, man, it's a scary prospect to just throw this other world quarterback right back out there when he hasn't had any kind of contact since mid-December.

Yeah, and I think you want to see him at least take a hit.

I mean, again, I don't think you want the first hit to be in regular season play.

He probably wants that, too.

Yeah, it doesn't have to be a nasty sack or anything like that, but just him thrown down to the ground.

I mean, it's going to happen during the regular season, right?

So thrown down to the ground, and everyone can take that deep breath.

And he can walk back up with his little ginger walk that he does and use his hands to wave to get to play, and everyone knows what I'm talking about.

And then you start to feel better about that for when it actually counts, which is going to be – and it's a big game.

This is the defending AFC West champion, Denver Broncos.

I know that the game is the beginning of the season, but it counts just as much at the end.

And you may need it because the division is a lot better.

And so I just I think you need I think you need it if you're looking for an ideal goal, I guess I should say.

Second, third week of training camp, full go.

And based upon what we saw yesterday, again, I'm not a doctor.
