I'm sure there are tons of examples of a player holding out then being a top producer. Yet I can't think of any. In fact I seem to remember that there's a high probability that a player who hold's out will not play in all 16 games due to injuries (not in football shape).

Don't expect much from him.

People this isn't that long of a holdout. We still have 1 week before the 1st of 4 Pre-season games. He'll have plenty of time to adjust.

And remember with all the OTAs, in which he participated, I don't think his conditioning will be all that much of an issue.

Can you give us some evidence to support this claim?

ETA: Shawn Merriman had a ten day hold out and played in the Pro Bowl as a rookie. I'm certain that there are others who were productive and not even on the pro bowl level as rookies who held out.
