Its pretty much the opposite. Kelly's scheme has been criticized because it can expose the QB to some really big hits. Its one of the main reasons that the Titans reportedly werent interested in hiring Kelly.
You run a lot of 4 and 5 WR sets and very little max protect. Your QB has to be able to get rid of the ball in a hurry and your OL has to be able to hold its ground damn well or the QB will get his ass kicked something awful.
Quick release and quick thinking is needed in your QB, because he runs a lot of no huddle, superb athleticism, conditioning, quick feet and quick thinking is what you want out of your OL.
You especially need OL with a high football IQ because you dont have many huddles where guys can regroup and have their teammates smack some sense into them when they are getting their ass kicked out on the field.
