Quote:I disagree that you benefit more from sitting on a bench than from actually playing the game.  He gets more time playing with the starters and coaches as being the starter which will speed up his growth as a QB than being on the bench, especially behind a QB that he was already better than...

Its one thing to be the backup for a future HOF like Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, etc its another to be behind Chad Henne whom couldnt even beat out Blaine Gabbert for a starting job...

 

This is the good thing as well.  He will have a bunch of teachable film to review in the off season.  He will be able to look at his reaction to real life game situations and develop a plan to improve.  Riding the pine is all good and well but experience counts in the new NFL.

 

I don't like this offense one bit but it is really hard to judge when rookies are everywhere and the line play is porous.
