Yup, CJ doesn't really need a passing attack to help him. If anything, having guys crowd the line helps him because once he gets to the second level, there'll be no one there to force him to the sideline. Plus, VY is playing better than any of the rookie QB's this season, and maybe even better than some sophomore QB's. Just because we get a new QB doesn't mean he'll be an upgrade, especially early.
That's not even considering what VY's scrambling ability does for CJ's running lanes. VY freezes DL's, and that little semisecond is all CJ needs to blow by them. 'Dinger is also imcorporating the Option into the offense, and it's been used in key situations with success - 4th Down TD run against San Fran, and 3rd Down coversion against Buffalo.
VY's not racking up the yards because he's not having to throw a lot, but he's been able to stretch defenses these past 3 games. He was on pace for 300-yards in the first half of the Buffalo game, but CJ's become our finisher of sorts and gets the ball when the game is on the line.
