This is why I'm giving him all the off season reps, he's only started one season of college. He needs the reps in the worst way.

This. I understand the idea of having him sit a year and learn behind Colt/Case but I say screw all that.
Get him in there and get him learning. Give him all the reps, ride with the highs and lows of a first year QB and get the experience.
I also agree with your first point, he can work on all his deficiencies full time now. A couple of his biggest knocks are footwork and spiral velocity. Both easily fixed. The important stuff is there, especially for this offense. He can read defenses quickly and get the ball out on time.
I'll admit I was lukewarm about the pick at the time but the kids starting to grow on me. I'm excited to see him out there.
