Benching JJ? Is it really the ankle

[MaroonBells]

I don't think they would bench him either, but are they using the injury as a reason to sit him for a bit and take the edge off.  Just seemed like his ankle sprain wasn't bad enough to pull him from the game, one would think declaring it this early in the week seems a bit suspect.

I still can't accept they would bench him, but if you want to go down that road, one thing to consider is that they may also want to get their franchise QB out of harms way until Darrisaw and Kelly return so the kid isn't torn apart either physically or emotionally. Skule is a turnstile and Jurgens had a few snapping issues. Too much of that can damage a young QB.
