The team is competitive with him in there. In the games he started, no loss greater than 7 pts. differential. Cripes, with a completely reworked playbook he kept us close with Mahomes and the Chiefs. Unless he re-aggravates his groin injury, I don't see how you bench him. If we start having problems executing on offense, at that time maybe give him a rest, but everything I've seen from him indicates that his competitive nature is going to motivate him not to go down without a fight. This coaching staff would be signing their own pink slip if Nick comes in and the offense starts flailing.

As others have stated, though, I love that we have a plethora of talent at the position. Such a welcome change from the vacuum we've had there in recent years.
