JD5 and Jaxon Dart are gonna figure out the hard way, NFL players on defense are much faster than college.

Both the these guys aren’t getting out of bounds or going to the ground…they are gonna stay hurt on the sidelines

To be fair to JD5, only 1 injury this year was induced by his not going down, and even then, it was a somewhat dumb 'stick my arm out' move not a hard hit. JD5 was looking early like he'd learned that unless the game/season is on the line, just avoid a pointless hit. Dart looks positively suicidal, and his comments after suggest he doesn't care. he soon will when he gets a season/career ender.

I agree but we also can't ignore the fact that JD5 has now had 4 different injuries in 1.5 years... He's also basically missed his entire "sophomore" campaign.. Dart is built thicker to take hits, his issue will be concussions

This

He’s too damn good of a passer. Him and the team need to come up with a strategy which can use his feet and limit the unnecessary hits.

I’ve seen him many times scramble and refuse to throw the ball away for a 1 - 2 yard gain and then take contact. One of those resulted in missing multiple games.

Develop a better run game with better talent in the backfield to take the pressure off him to run. And throw the ball away rather than take contact

Start there
