Keim also mentioned that JD tends to make smart decisions, whether to take the risk or not. Seems like JD is hyper aware of potential risks and acts accordingly, which is pretty amazing for a rookie.

I'd say the difference is he doesn't take chances where he doesn't need to; situational awareness. He doesn't feel the need to keep scoring TD's because he shows faith in his teammates. Even if a mistaken belief, he thinks that he doesn't have to force it in there as the D will help him out if he just avoids the turnover. The real test (and I think he'll pass) is when he has to force it in there, when he must go for a risky throw when the game is on the line and he has no choice. The Hail Mary aside he really hasn't had to worry about those much.
