When you're young and inexperienced you have enough to worry about without wondering if you're going to be pulled the first time you screw up. Learning for a rookie is already tough. No need to put that extra pressure on him.
While I agree juice isn't worth the squeeze keeping Jimmy, Shanahan proved last year he didn't pull Jimmy when he was struggling, so it's not a huge concern. But it could absolutely create a "looking over your shoulder" environment.
