That is not really relevant, IMHO. But since you brought it up, I would say you are expecting unreasonable hindsight regarding Trey's injury history. Had things gone according to plan, he'd already have more than an entire season's worth of reps.
None of this changes the fact that pass protection has been god awful, and the plays in which Lance has been sacked, I'd say at least half were long developing.
