Bosa is fine as long as he can stay healthy. But I doubt he can for a whole season. He has not shown much evidence to do that throughout his football career. I just think QW is better and a lot better at his respective position. But I understand why they went for outside pass rush. Because we definitely lacked that. But we have also seen what 2 interior guys can do. Donald and Suh went to the Super Bowl. So it's not like it can't work that way too with the guys we had if we happened to add QW also. We didn't and we got Bosa. We will see how it works out. Bosa's biggest problem is staying healthy long term.
So you say he has not shown much evidence that he can stay healthy for a whole season? Really? How about producing some evidence to support this? Here is the other side ofcthe coin:-
I cant find evidence of injuries whilst at St Thomas Aquinas but the below link would strongly imply that injuries were not an issue.

He was apparently a 4 year starter and a multi year first team all-state player. He was a 5 star recruit and was ranked among the best players in his class. Thus indicating, again, that he was not injury prone at school.
"Bosa played in all 13 games as a true freshman at Ohio State in 2016, recording 29 tackles, seven of which were for a loss, and five sacks.
In his sophomore year, he became the starting defensive end for the Buckeyes in seven games. Bosa was named a unanimous First Team All-Big Ten and the Smith-Brown Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year for his 32 total tackles (14.5 for a loss) and a team leading seven sacks. Additionally, he had two pass breakups, eight quarterback hurries and a blocked kick.
On September 20, 2018, it was reported that Bosa underwent core muscle surgery, ruling him out indefinitely.[5] On October 16, Bosa announced that he was withdrawing from Ohio State for the rest of the season. After the season, Bosa decided to forego his senior year and enter the 2019 NFL Draft."
So, one injury and one season affected That is all I can find. Now lets see your side. You must have evidence to make such a damning statement about one of your own players so lets see it. If you can produce evidence of regular season ending injuries I shall apologise.
