At this point, I think you could do either. you could bench Lawrence to keep any more bad coaching from sticking to him. I'm not sure he's really learning much at the moment being put in no-win situations every week. And you would be preserving him from serious injury for this year. However, if the backup happens to win a couple of games with this squad, then we worsen our 2022 draft status, and you really aren't following what was designated the 'blueprint' for the future of this franchise any longer.

If we lose to the Texans in the same fashion that we lost to the Titans today, then I think you sit Lawrence for the reasons stated above. We are so bad in every respect that we may lose out regardless of who is the QB.

All this presumes we will be cleaning house at the GM and coaching levels in 2022, except for Cullen. If that doesnt happen, then it doesnt matter who plays at QB, the mediocrity will continue.
